the horses came out to meet us.....

A few days ago we flew over the Rockie Mountains to the province of Saskatchewan, which is one of our prairie provinces. It is a spacious land of farming and ranching. We were down on the farm and the prairie light was exactly as Neil Young wrote of it. The smell is what hits you first. It is the smell of grass and grain meeting sunshine and water. It's earthy and full and naturally sweet. We went for a sunset stroll and the horses came out to meet us......

how lovely this sounds. We went on an adventure today to a wild life preserve. They have fields of corn and maize planted for the whopping and sand hill crane. There are also fields of seed grasses and you're right that smell is so wonderful....like an instant tranquilizer.

How do you ever get anything done? I would just be standing outside and thanking God for the scenery.

Such lovely colors in the photos. The gold of the horse, the red of the barn. Looks like a lovely time.
