Since moving to Whitehorse some 10 years ago, I've missed their beautiful song, and until now, almost forgot that crickets existed. Definitely something to be said for hot, humid summer nights - oh how I long for thee.<BR/><BR/>My wife's parents came from Saskatchewan and now live there again after 25 years in the Yukon. In Herbert, to be exact (about 30 minutes from Swift Current).<BR/><BR/>We've gone there every autumn for the past few years, missing this year is our first, and I love the experience, especially for kids. Being able to pick apples from trees, dig in the dirt, walk in the fields, drive old machinery around and live a life even slower than that of Whitehorse (believe it or not) is wonderful.<BR/><BR/>I adore the prairies for all of these reasons, plus a few more, but you get the point..<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the $2.00 homemade pie with free refills of coffee helps as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21596698.post-47960307633139826492007-09-28T16:37:00.000-07:002007-09-28T16:37:00.000-07:00Hrm.
