I heard that the pelicans were back in Saskatoon and read in the paper today that their official date of arrival was April 17th. I’ve been hiding indoors a lot lately so I decided to wander down to the weir to check it out for myself. Of course, we’re not having much of a spring […]
Every year, there always seems to be a spring storm here that catches everyone by surprise. I have no idea why because as I said, it happens every spring and yet, everyone, despite claiming to be tough, grisly Canadians, complains about how winter will never end!
