Warm breeze from start to finish. Did I mention that Saskatchewan and Manitoba have flies? Marg and I ran out of names to call our little winged friends-boys names, girl’s names, dogs, cats, horses etc. Right now I have a fly running all over my screen proof reading my work.

The sunflower crop is ready to harvest. The heads are so heavy that they face the ground. The blackbirds are enjoying the early September feast.

Marg found an insect bracelet—one size fits all. Estevan was the source of this bounty. It was in an old church turned sun tanning biz and gift shop.

We have seen lots of oil pumps in the grain fields. Fields are huge and the machinery that works the fields is gargantuan.

The mh is white again. We stopped somewhere in Saskatchewan and put it into a manual carwash. It took 14 minutes to do the deed. Diesel is one, that is, one cent cheaper than regular.

DMS where are you when we need you? So many of the place names are en francais.

Thanks Renate and Tim for the chocolate slabs. I have a piece about 4 pm and the caffeine keeps me awake at the wheel until we pull off the road.

Cheers
