After a crazy cold couple of months, March came in with the perfect melt – not too fast, not too slow. With the snowshoes put away but the snow not completely gone, my adventure activity of choice became walking and what better place is there for walking than the zoo! The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park […]
Winter in 2018 started off nicely. A little cold snap but the temperatures were pretty nice for awhile. Unfortunately, I ended up with a nasty toothache so getting out to enjoy it was harder than it should have been. But if you saw my previous post, you’ll know that I ended the year with a […]
After a freezing start to the new year, I’ve been desperately wanting to get out of town and commune with nature. I’ve also been desperately looking for an excuse to take out my DSLR and start taking pictures again. So, on March 5th, I headed out to Pike Lake for the afternoon to partake in […]
My February started off on a high note when Little Ray’s Creature Centre came to Saskatoon with their creatures, great and small. Usually, these travelling animal shows are focused on reptiles and amphibians which are very cool but for me personally, not interesting enough to want to head out in the freezing cold to go […]
I’m so excited that 2018 is over! This has been a rough year for me and my attempts to take care of my mind, body, and soul have fallen a bit flat despite my best efforts. But as random as January 1st is, I still appreciate having this marker to say goodbye to the last […]
The last time I played my ukulele in front of a crowd, I was 11 years old. I was lucky enough to learn the ukulele in elementary school and was very angry when they decided that the program would only run from grade 4 to grade 6 instead of going all the way to grade […]
It’s hard to believe that the Autumnal Equinox was just a week and a half ago. Septemeber is usually so beautiful. Even the first half of October is usually quite nice. Instead, winter seems to be pushing through. Apparently, the birds knew what was in store before us though since they were already fattening themselves up […]
I’m a little reluctant to post about Patterson Garden. It’s such a lovely, quiet spot in Saskatoon, but I know what will happen if too many people find out about it. It will end up being like every other park in this city: full of noisy kids, entitled wedding parties, and loads and loads of dog poop. […]
Despite this being a weird summer, the call of nature came to me once again. Having regained my interest in astronomy a couple years ago, I was really looking forward to once again heading out to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park for the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party. Alas, it was not to be. If you read my previous […]
If you read my last post, you’ll know that I was in Middle Lake in August to play at a wedding. With my migraines being as bad as they are, I sometimes find it tricky to drive at night because of the super bright headlights that have strangely become common on vehicles. And highways are particularly […]
