Visiting A Farm

I got to visit Deb and Dwight's farm today, an hour's drive south of Saskatoon.  Carla, Chris, Owen and I drove out there after work.

While there Dwight drove us around, showing us their property.  We were hoping to see some deer, but we only saw some from a distance.

We did see their livestock, horses (both, mini and tall).  The ones pictured below are mini.

It was the first time I was out in really cold weather this winter.  Winter's definitely here now...

After the tour Deb and Dwight fed us some hearty chilli.  Their household is busy, my goodness.  dogs everywhere, running around, chasing each other and anyone or anything else moving.  There were hedgehogs too, in one of the rooms.  The walls are busy too, every square inch covered in farming and ranching paraphernalia, pictures, and other kitsch.

But along with busyness comes life.  There was a rhythm present, a definite sense of life or of being alive. That was super refreshing.

Prairie hospitality is striking, noteworthy.
