Friday Fun Link – Everything About Grain Bins (Farmers Are Geniuses)

Spring feels like it’s (almost) here. Even though I haven’t been directly involved in farming for years, like many in Saskatchewan, I start thinking about seeding at this time of year.

Music Monday – “Cause if summer is here/I’m still waiting there/Winter is here/And I’m still waiting there”

I have many fond memories of regularly going to the Ness Creek Music Festival, a hippie festival in Northern Saskatchewan, when I was in my twenties.

Music Monday – “I’m gonna hold on to every spot/It doesn’t make a difference if I use it or not/Sun is rising and folks are shocked to see/There’s no open slots”

This is a parody of cruise ship chair saving but could equally apply to the poolside chairs in most tropical resorts… “Towels on The Chairs” – ParoDeeJay
