Brownville S.D. No. 4677

A one-room school near Dollard, Saskatchewan.  The only thing that's changed in recent times is the new red metal roof.  

For a time it was used as a community hall but now appears much as it would have back in the school days.

Inside looking out.

A felt crest that many of the kids would have had their mom sew onto their favourite jacket.

Fairview

Morning light inside the little stone church...a heavenly sight.

Green Meadow S.D. No. 423

A marker for Green Meadow School.  

This sign is a two-for-one with the older enameled sign mounted on the lower portion of a newer black metal one.

A smaller wooden sign on steel posts accompanies the larger.  No idea whether this one pre- or post-dates the above but I think it's a charmer.

Thirteen

Saw this little guy/girl at the Old Stone Church near Abernathy, Saskatchewan.

This is a thirteen-lined ground squirrel native to the area.

Pretty curious to see what I'm up to...instinct working overtime.  Be wary of humans.

Early in the Morning

The colours in Noël's garden at about 5:30 in the morning...my favourite time of day at this time of the year.

Flintoft S.D. No. 4783

The sign above the door of Flintoft School...

...a pioneer schoolhouse near Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan.

Looks like someone tried to make it a home not so long ago.

Velvet

A buck with velvet covered antlers.

Once he decided I wasn't a threat he proceeded to nap in the shade of the lilacs for a good hour.  Good for him and good for me.

Katherine and Michael

A ceramic photo that definitely captures a happy moment in time for the Werbeski's.

Photographed at Saint Michael's Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery near Montmartre, Saskatchewan.
