2019 Edition of “First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman

It created a pretty magical “snow globe” effect at the Heritage Classic last night, continued to fall through the night and it’s always a bit of a judgement call but it feels like it’s time to do my annual post of this song as it feels like the snow is here to stay again for […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Card House (December 2014)

It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top. But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]

Flooded Campsite

When we got to Nickle Lake Regional Park last Friday, we could see that there’d been a big downpour and there was a lot of standing water in some of the lower lying areas of the campground. When we got to our site, there was a bit of water in our site but nothing major […]

Putting The “Bin” In Cabin

A husband and wife who are retired farmers decide to convert the grain bins they can’t sell into very unique rental cabins. I wasn’t much of a farmer growing up but I did shovel out a few bins in the summer, often in extreme heat (if it’s hot outside, it’s *extremely* hot in the bin) […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Multi-Year Fence Project Finally Finished? (May 2014, May 2017, May 2018, May 2019)

We’ve been replacing our forty year old original fence in a series of mini-projects over the past five years. We started with the back part of our yard in May 2014 which was a major job as the neighbour directly behind us (no back alley) is at the end of a crescent on a pie-shaped […]

A Few Highlights/Lowlights as the 2019 Camping Season Begins

We spent the weekend in Weyburn getting our seasonal site ready which is why I didn’t post for the past few days. Here’s a few memorable moments from the weekend… Highlight: Sasha blurts out “This is the best day of my life!” as I push her on the swings. Then, the next day, she says […]

Saturday Snap – “Go Outside to Play and Don’t Come Home Until Supper!”

We didn’t actually tell her that but Sasha’s been doing it old school today – being outside between our yard and the neighbours’ playing with their kids all day. This is a pic I took over the fence. I wonder if they’re making plans for havoc during Sasha’s birthday party tomorrow???

Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”

This song is usually interpreted as being about acid rain but on the day Saskatchewan (and three other provinces) has a federal carbon tax enacted, I thought it was appropriate… “Fall On Me” – R.E.M.
