    Crazy times in our neck of the woods.

    Be careful with solar panels. If the company goes broke like windmill or oil and gas companies your family could be left with a super expensive clean up. Thirteen years ago nobody would have believed what is going on in Alberta today.

    PASTURE NAMES by Steve Moreland

    In the foothills you can still see where they tried to farm years ago. Super steep side hills that make you cringe if you think about trying to farm with equipment. They must have done it with horses because I can't see how they could have farmed it with tractors. You can still find parts of...
