No Gardening Today

I don't think my gardening services will be needed at Saint Margaret's any time soon.  


Hmmm...maybe in June?  

This is the heaviest snow pack in forty years.

Saint Stephen's at Tangleflags


Not far east of the Alberta/Saskatchewan border stands Saint Stephen's Anglican Church.  It was built in 1937.  


I'm sure it's been some time since there were regular services here but I'll bet this country church is host to the occasional wedding or funeral...or maybe just a pot luck supper and celebration of life from time to time. 




The church and grounds are now maintained par excellence by the Tangleflags Community Club.  A big "thank you" to those decicated people. 


It is now a Saskatchewan Heritage Site.  Stop by for a visit.


Thanks to the RM of Brittania.

Wildflowers

Lots of fresh snow down here in southeastern Alberta so I think some wildflowers are in order.  Can't wait to see them in full bloom this coming spring (whenever that may be).

The View from Here

The beautiful view made for an enjoyable drive through the countryside.
