Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”

Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals

Massive Ice Storm Hits Saskatchewan #skoutage

Pretty crazy day. The power was out from around 9am until early afternoon or even later across most of the southern half of the province.  Most businesses, schools and other organizations (including the library) closed down (except for a couple branches that had power) for the day. Makes you appreciate that this is not a […]

Music Monday – “Well, the hives are gone/I’ve lost my bees/The chickens are sleeping/In the willow trees/Cow’s in water up past her knees/Three feet high and rising”

Saturday Snap – My Christmas List (on the First Day of Fall)

Yesterday was the first day of fall but much of Saskatchewan had already received a heavy snowfall and Regina got a sleety-snowy rain that didn’t stick around but definitely felt more like winter than fall. There were other signs that it felt more like winter than fall as well.  When I turned on the “Flow” […]

Fire Bans in Place for Sask Provincial Parks South of Churchill River

We didn’t get a fire ban until the end of summer last year. But it’s been crazy dry the last couple years so here we go right at the start of the camping season (and yes, the regional park we’re booked into won’t escape without a fire ban either until some rain comes.) 🙁 Thank goodness […]

Crocuses typically appear shortly after the snow melts, sometime around April 1st-21st.  Blooms only last for two weeks, so the window to see […]
