Mink Creek is happy to announce that we have three young people graduating from high school this spring. They are Tia Hatch, daughter of Sam and Katie Hatch, Hazen Baird, son of LaRon and Liesa Baird, and Krister Danfors, son of Per and Cassie Danfors. Of course they are excited and considering their futures and the whole village congratulates them on this accomplishment.
Our slopes are full of bluebells, curly flowers and buttercups. Curly flowers make it certain that nature has sent spring. The tame and wild choke cherry bushes are loaded with hanging clusters of blossoms, making it hopeful for a good harvest if the wind and temperatures will give them a chance. Visions of syrup and jelly to anticipate.
Nature's irrigation system has been providing rain in goodly quantities, and then bringing warmer days to wake up the sleeping seeds and dormant plants. Green in various shades is a favorite color. With the low hanging clouds filled with wetness it is Mink Creek's Ireland Season.
With Memorial Day weekend coming up the cemetery board members are preparing the cemetery for the many visitors that always come. Just the view from this site is worth stopping by. The sacred spot was chosen as the final earthly resting place within only a few years of the founding of the village of Mink Creek.
It is hard to believe that this month is nearly gone. Our population is growing, two more families are in the process of building homes on land they have purchased. These are young families with lots of growth ahead of them. We have had lots of visitors with the holiday and it always feels like "old home week" which it should because they are so welcome and we love the memories they bring.
