We overlook the Pembina river, nature all around and wildlife appearing daily. Spring came late to Alberta and then suddenly appeared, with the trees popping out shades of green and texture and shape and then blossom. Each day I see a new plant, some I identify to species in my native Scotland and I feel happy to know at least a little of what grows naturally here, others I need to research.
I can hear the grass growing!, I am still amazed that the brown earth that appeared after the snow melted could manage to produce anything green, but now the paths I have cut through part of our pasture are being enjoyed by my children, who delight in following the tracks and playing hide and seek in the long grass. Happy Days.
