Burke School 1917

A well preserved one room school. Located just across the Alberta/Saskatchewan border in Saskatchewan east of Lloydminster. A sign nearby says 1917. I did not see any date where it ceased being a school.

The view driving home from work yesterday

Okay, it was not a total whiteout. It was steadily snowing and -36C. Traffic going the other way would throw up snow temporarily blinding you in a sea of white. Today is a sunny, and -27C so it is getting warmer. Tomorrow the cold snap breaks and we have some decent temperatures around the 0C mark starting Monday. I am looking forward to it.

Sea of yellow

Too damn cold lately. Time for a summer photo.

Near Davidson, Saskatchewan July 4, 2021.

Winter post

Spotted this in a farmyard outside Lloydminster, Alberta and it was too good to pass up.

Happy New Year

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,

and never thought upon;

The flames of Love extinguished,

and fully past and gone:

Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,

that loving Breast of thine;

That thou canst never once reflect

On old long syne.
