Another wonderful day in Saskatchewan



The temperature dipped low last night and required us to start the heater just to take the chill off the trailer.

Cold temperatures are not welcome here in Saskatchewan where an early frost would bring a staggering end to a canola season where the crops have struggled against drought.

There was a strong breeze this morning and as we walked the grid road the grain waved in the fields, reminisced of waved on the ocean.

We shared the grid road this morning with Saskatchewan Energy trucks who respectfully slowed almost to a stop as they passed us on the road.

Our walk this morning included Baxter where his agenda to chase down every scent and small rodent ran counter to mine of taking great photos.



Baxter, with uncanny regularity pulled on his lead just as the camera focused on a shot.

Baxter and I did come to an understanding early in our walk.



Back at the farm the smoker was lite and supper was started.


Maple smoked ribs.


Slow cooked in a smoker for 6 hours.
Smoked corn-on-the-cob.
Cornmeal muffins.
Once again we dinned well on the farm.


Thank you for coming along today.
