Looking at the calander, and you'll see the May long weekend is just around the corner.
It's the unofficial start to summer and most people use the opportunity to open up their cottages.
But when you do, you should probably bring your rubber boots.
The flooding that we saw here in Toronto, continues to affect parts of cottage country, specifically Kawartha Lakes.
"The water levels are still rising on the Kawartha Lakes." says Gordon Earl from the Otonobee Region Conservation Authority.
He's been at his post for 15 years, and claims this is as high as he's ever seen water in the area.
How high is it?
"The Otonobee River is about 2.4 meters above it's normal summer level." says Earl.
If you think about that in feet and inches, it's in the neighbourhood of seven feet.
And he says it's not going away anytime soon.
"Even if we had just fair weather from here on out, it would probably take two weeks, maybe three, for the system to get back to normal water levels."
That could spoil your chance to have a beer on the dock at the cottage, because that dock is probably under water.
