Happy 2024!

WINTER IS FINALLY HERE

We hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season during 2023 and we are looking forward to warmer weather during 2024!  Winter is in full swing here on Cape Monday Rd.  We have about six inches of snow on the ground and Long Lake finally appears to have frozen over. We are beginning to see more footprints, animal tracks, ice fishing and snowmobile tracks on the surface.  There are still some open water spots where tributaries are entering the lake so stay away from those areas if you venture onto the ice.  In case you have not heard, Phil the Groundhog is predicting an early spring!

Brown Tail Moth Update

As you are out and about during these cold months, take a moment to look up to see if you have any brown tail catepillar nests in your trees.  They favor oak and birch trees which are quite popular in our neighborhood.  We have seen numerous nests near the 457 part of Cape Monday.  Turns out these pests have tiny hairs that are poisonous and can cause rashes/itching for many people.  The rash resembles a poison ivy rash and can be itchy for up to a week.  Hairs are toxic for up to three years and can float in the air and eventually land on a person creating a rash.  Click here to learn more about this pest and what to do about them.
