The Watch Lake Lodge’s trail riding horses were guided home from their winter pasture on March 16.
Residents along the route enjoyed catching a glimpse of the beautiful animals on their annual trek home. The event is a reminder that spring is near.
Across the road from the horse pasture at the lodge is another sign of warmer days to come. The soon-to-be bovine mommies were also brought in from winter pasture to their "mooternity" ward on March 9.
The very pregnant cows are looking healthy, and in a short while, there will be calves in the field.
Spring break visitors
Residents were delighted to see children in the area throughout spring break.
Brooklynn and Ryleigh Martin, and Sofia, Ethan and Logan DiMarco from Chilliwack were visiting their grandmother, Kathy Stanley, on Twin Acres Farm.
Katrina and Talia VanDeKerkhof from Maple Ridge were visiting their cousins, Hunter and Eden Adams.
