Saturday Snap – File Under “Other”

Management is having staff at my library do a week-long “Activity Assessment” project where all staff have to record what they’re doing every five minutes of their shifts. Now if I could just figure out where “Boost Patron’s Truck” is on their report form?  😉 

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow may be contrary/But this is now/And then is then.”

This is another annual tradition on this blog. I’m fudging a bit this year as the snow fell overnight from Monday to Tuesday but since it fits better as a Music Monday post, here’s my annual post of one of my favourite Hawksley Workman songs posted on a Tuesday but dated for Monday! 😉 “First […]

Friday Fun Link – Only in the Prairies (Record High and Record Low, Same Day, One Year Apart)

This graphic showed up on Reddit as a perfect snapshot of what you can expect in Alberta – a record high and record low only one year apart.  (It showed up earlier this week and I didn’t bookmark it but assume it was a shot from around this time of the year – late September […]

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this is now and then is then!”

Here are a few pics I threw together in a slideshow to celebrate the first snow of the year. “Celebrate” might sound like the wrong word but for me, the first snow of the year is always exciting and, as the song says, “I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this […]

Saturday Snap – Nickle Lake Hail Storm

Spent the weekend at Shea’s parents’ seasonal camp site at Nickle Lake.  Had a bit of an adventure as there were tornado warnings on Saturday afternoon. (When Pace was a baby and we found ourselves in similar circumstances, we headed for town.  I often joke about “Second Baby Syndrome” and Sasha suffered it here as […]

What’s Different In Canada?

Happy Canada Day!

Music Monday – “Here’s a hymn to welcome in the day/Heralding a summer’s early sway/And all the bulbs all coming in/To begin”
