As long as I remember, these towering sentinels have stood watch over the town. At bedtime, I would gaze into the darkness to find reassurance in those patient silhouettes. Beneath them, the industry that gave the town its life and its livelihood banged and thumped and hummed hypnotically.
First storm of the winter
The warnings started on Friday: Heavy snowfall, 10 – 15 cm of snow expected. After Friday’s freezing rain warnings, it would be best to listen to what Environment Canada had to say.
First day of spring
First day of spring, 2013, blows in on the heels of a late winter blizzard. The past two weeks were so mild, it’s hard to believe that winter isn’t finished with us yet. It all reminds of last November’s chill.
Summer nights’ jazzy lights
Herbie Hancock and Dr. John and the Nite Trippers were on-stage at this year’s Saskatchewan Jazz Festival. Nature timed her own special fireworks perfectly with both shows’ encores. You couldn’t have timed it better.
