Now that summer weather is finally here, we can look back on May with a little more fondness than the rest of this spring.

We moved from winter temperatures directly into summer heat and humidity in May. On Instagram, we were suddenly deluged with photos of sunsets and trilliums tagged with #kawarthanow.

?? On May 17, 2018, volunteers decorated Bancroft with hand-knit and crocheted turtles as part of a "yarn bomb" campaign to raise awareness for the local turtle population. The turtles will remain on display for 10 days, including on World Turtle Day on Wednesday, May 23. Knittervention, the volunteer group that created the turtles, is encouraging residents and visitors to Bancroft to share photos of the turtles on social media using the hash tags #turtlebomb, #bancroftyarnbomb, and #worldturtleday.
