vicious garden raiders
Vicious raiders invaded the front garden. They forced their way through the electric fence barricade then stood brazenly outside the house, ruminating, without remorse. Untold amounts of fodder was stolen from the property.
What do you mean, I’m miserly?
rising water
So this is the environmentalist speaking. Could we return to a wet world like this?

giant dandelion root
I was digging up some dandelions in the side yard at home and came across this.
I knew their taproots were long, but this one is about 18 inches (45cm) long!
hawk
While whizzing along on my scooter, something caught my eye. It was a bird on a light standard. It was hard to make out detail way up there, looking against the sky, but Floyd later identified it from pictures as a hawk.
This was right on the edge of the coulee, so (s)he was most likely waiting for lunch.

MPE Link Pathway
Apparently we Southern Albertans are getting another bike path, called MPE Link Pathway. Did you know about this? I just read about it in the Feb. 13 2024 Lethbridge Herald. Yes, I know, I’m a bit behind. I have a stack of newspapers to get through. But this is one of the more interesting articles. I wonder if any of it is complete yet. See map.
