Can't Wait No Mower

| The Grass has Riz!
Hawk local Lionel Atwood was heard pulling his cord over the weekend, as the finest lawn on The Hawk received it's first Spring haircut. Neighbours presumed Atwood had started his Spring clean-up by over-hauling his boat motors until his mower hit an old deer hoof, the sound causing a birder at this weekend's gathering to slip off a rock. The water reached his ankles, and it is believed to be the first case of a Hawk birder getting their feet wet.

Canoe Canoe? |
| The Hawk was represented by Chris "Sater" Smith and Shawn Sears at the Clyde River Canoe Rally over the weekend. Sater's pair of fives did not place in the poker high-hand standings, but everyone was said to have a royal flush after the seafood chowder at the Scott's Farm finish line. They did not flip their vessel despite a near-swamping, considered in itself a Hawk victory when piloting a boat with no motor. |
The 2-day attack of heat that consumed most of Canada last week saw most earning their first pit-stain of the year, with regional highs reaching 26 C in Kentville and 28 C in Moncton. On Canada's most southern mainland tip, this went unnoticed, with an average temperature on the Hawk Rd. topping 13 C. Although the forecast is for Tuesday gales, and the striking workers at the Fog Factory are nearing a settlement, summer hasn't been counted out yet.
Previous Weeklies are in the Archives. |

| Oh Deer! |
A Hawk motorist in a Cavalier had an encounter with a darting deer this past week, and Prancer met Blitzen in a crucial game of seconds. With numerous sightings and even the rumour of an albino deer, one can't help wonder if there's a pile of apples hidden near Big Bridge. Jumping to the deer's defense, Mr. John Deere stated that a miss-print in the annual Deer Atlas had incorrectly listed the Drowned Forest as the Crowned Forest. The deer have rallied to have the word "Forest" corrected too.
