Haliburton Ontario - May 4, 2012 (Courtesy weathernetwork.com)

Hey all and a happy Friday to you! Though it appeared to be not so great-looking weather this afternoon in parts of Onatrio, this weekend has some really pleasant weather to enjoy in the Haliburton Highlands. Check it out:

Looks like a perfect weekend to get out and about and as usual there are a host of  activities for a variety of interests:

Red Hot Blues @ Dominion Hotel

I’ve not yet checked out the music scene at the Dominion Hotel in Minden but it’s on my list of summer fun time activities. I’m very carefully planning to be sure and partake of the many fun things that somehow I’ve missed out on thus far whilst staying on Maple Lake  as I’ll be there both this spring and summer. If you are in the Minden area this weekend, check this duo out!

There are many more activities this weekend and beyond so be sure to click on the thumbnails to enlarge and read all about them!

Gowganda Lake, Ontario - April 24

From charitable events with an emphasis on support of communities in the Highlands, to a chance to meet real-time Iditarod adventurer Hank DeBruin to African Film Night and much more, there is always something happening in the Haliburton Highlands that appeals to a diverse range of interests. Speaking of ‘diverse’, that is one word to describe south eastern Ontario weather of late. I snapped some southern Ontario webcam shots today, April 24, which should give you an idea of  conditions in the area right now. Pretty pictures/cold weather.

Happy Easter long weekend!

Despite the non-PC-ness of making a huge fuss over the Christian holiday, it’s still important to know what is happening in the Haliburton Highlands this weekend and beyond and what the weather will be like. scroll down and click the thumb nails for full size to find out What’s Happening in the Haliburton Highlands This Week!

Sunday, April 8 will reach a high temperature of about 55° F with a chance of showers later in the day, so bring an umbrella with your baskets and bonnets.

We rarely go anywhere on Easter Sunday but several things have changed the family dynamic landscape of late including the death of my father-in-law, our recent purchase of a car that could safely shuttle our entire family, including the dogs, all the way to grandma’s house (1 hour away) and not incidentally, the fact that grandma has a fenced-in yard and the dogs are invited! (I work from home so the two, who are Schipperke and Schip mix are not used to long periods alone–plus ‘she’ is really old and frail). So off to Wonder Lake, Illinois we’ll be on Sunday. No Reese’s PNB eggs for me this year. We are bringing a massively decadent devil’s food and fondant half ‘egg’ cake and braided (coloured) bread (both from the best bakery in the area) to dinner as well as a veggie tray. I’m hoping to cozy up to the veggie tray before doing too much damage otherwise.

Happy Friday!

I’ve managed to snag some lovely webcam snaps from throughout southern Ontario today. I’m delighted to say the the quality of the webcam shots available has increased quite a bit of late (Thank you, theweathernetwork.com). Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for this week’s weather though some folks might greet it with relief that it is a return, with just an exception or two, to seasonal temperatures (precipitation looks normal as well).
