I have one more light fixture sitting at my sister's house in Regina. And I need to apply for a new passport. So after waiting for good weather, I decided to set out this weekend for a quick trip to the Queen City.
No trip into Regina is complete without a drive down Albert Street. I love the bridge. I have always love the wonderful hand crafted spindles. And then to see the Parliament Building is always emotional for me. I cannot visit without driving past.
We had a great home dinner. Smoked pork chops, stuffed pork tenderloin, whipped potatoes camouflaging carrots and an Oreo cake. It was a great family dinner with my sister, her husband, step daughter, son and daugher-in-law, and grand son.
After a rather quick interview at the passport office and an even faster visit to Fanny's Fabrics looking for drapery fabric, Pete and I had Tim's breakfast.
The drive back to Swift Current was more true winter driving. The roads were slick and vehicles in the ditch along the way. Even though my eyes were on the road, it was lovely to see the winter landscape.
I love the yellows of harvested grain fields covered in snow. I love the blues and whites in the sky. There are pinks in the sky at all times of the day. Sometimes there is bright sunlight and other times it is dull. The wind blown snow forms beautiful waves along the highway that seem like a surfers paradise. The folds of snow reveal all shades of white and blue. It is truly amazing.
Today I was fortunate to see some wild life. The one lone coyote was in a field. It made me wonder how he will find tonights supper. And on the other side of the road were some deer grazing in the snow covered field.
