Babies!

Baby geese out for a swim with their parents.

Shown here with a few friends.

The pond is across the street from a golf course where the geese like to feed and hang out.  This year the powers that be finally put up a "Goose Crossing" sign.  Yay!  One for the geese!

Good Morning

Before starting work in the morning I'll sometimes grab a breakfast sandwich from the A&W and then park in Hillside Cemetery...lots of quiet company.  

This past Friday a crow perched on top of a headstone gained my attention.

In my eyes, crossing paths with a crow is a sign of good fortune.  And as it turned out, I proceeded to have a busy but very pleasant day working in the garden with Daisy for company and then an enjoyable evening at home.  Thank you crow.

Tree

A lone tree beside a trail just south of Lac Qui Parle Church.  I love the wide open prairie.

Why Can't We Be Friends?

While visiting Leinan School the dog from the neighbouring farm came over to see what I was up to.  

She was pretty shy and kept her distance.  Maybe we can be friends next time around.

Leinan S.D. No. 314

My last stop on a five day road trip through southern Saskatchewan.

I wasn't sure if this one was still standing but as you can see from the photos it's not only still upright but in pretty good condition (considering it's been abandoned for fifty years).

I think someone didn't do so well in Spelling Class.

The overhang above the door and "wall of windows" are familiar features on many pioneer schoolhouses.
