After a rainy Saturday and Sunday, today’s weather will be mostly sunny, with a high near 64 and a low around 49.
As I write these Daily Notes late Sunday afternoon, I just received word from Garrett County that Route 135 between Luke and Bloomington has been shut down due to landslide (probably due to the rain). If you read this Monday morning and are planning on using that route today, you may want to check with Garrett County Public Safety for the latest update.
The Garrett County Department of Public Utilities Roads Division will be paving Glendale and Toothpick Roads from approximately 7:30am-3:30pm this week. Expect short delays.
For those readers not at the lake this past week, the warmer weather and some rain have really helped our trees and shrubs “take off” and bloom. Here’s a close-up of a Carolina Silver Bell and its delicate blooms in my yard. The lake-area is really coming alive!
Speaking of coming alive, there’s a new retail clothing store opening in McHenry. Looks like they are still finalizing hours and putting on all the finishing touches, but the Cashmere Clothing Company will be open this week. Best of luck to the new owners.
I went to the Garrett County Everything Home Show on Saturday to see “what was up.” I had a number of nice conversations, including one with Realtor Remington Friend of 1 Real Estate Source, whom I had not previously met. Nice fellow and his company appears to be looking to expand their “footprint” around the lake. Best of luck to Remington, 1 Real Estate Source and to all in the real estate business around the lake. I hope you all have a great summer season.
And, speaking of real estate, Taylor-Made Vacations and Real Estate staff will be guest bartenders and wait-staff at JG’s Pub this evening from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Tips and the proceeds from a 50/50 raffle and silent auction will go to benefit HART for Animals. Check it out and help out the good people, and furballs, at HART while you have some fun and good food/drink.
Late spring is the prime birthing time for white-tailed deer, and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources reminds anyone who encounters a fawn to avoid disturbing it as it may appear to be orphaned, but its mom may likely be just a little bit away foraging for food. Click here for more insights or contact information if you have questions. So, basically, don’t fawn over the fawn.
