Like most of Ontario, cottage country received a nasty, albeit brief (I hope), reboot of winter over the last few days. Winter tires were scheduled to come off this past Monday, then Thursday... now next Monday. Seems winter hasn't quite finished with us yet. A couple of early robins arrived a few days ago to …
