We've had some warm temperatures here on the prairies the last couple of days, and it's mostly looking like above-freezing during the day for the foreseeable future [1]. So today I pulled the snow tires off the cars and put the "all-season" [2] ones on.

Please join me tomorrow in celebrating the semi-annual festival of Oh My Gawd Why Are My Knees On Fire And I Didn't Even Know I Had Muscles In That Part Of My Thigh.

[1] To be fair, this is about 5-6 days max. They don't bother to even try forecasting further out than that here.

[2] Really "three-season", if you live anywhere where it gets more than a handful of degrees below freezing.

It's spring-ish today on the Canadian prairies, and while I was out running errands a car cruised by me in the parking lot. A little Acura coupe with the sunroof open, and a dog's head [1] sticking up out of it, loving the breeze, the smells, and the sights of all the people.

It was a good day.

[1] What looked like a cross between a husky and a border collie - pretty sure its IQ was higher than anyone in the US administration's cabinet.

@iergo judicieux conseil sur la page :

"les #semences pour #prairies qu’on trouve en jardinerie sont souvent très chère et composé en majorité de graines de sarrasin. Donc même en jardinerie, je vous conseille d’acheter des boites contenant une seule semence (phacélie, trèfle incarnat, moutarde,… ) et de mélanger vous même."

🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Gitch/Ginch

Primarily heard in Western Canada, 'gitch,' 'ginch,' or 'gotchies' are slang for underwear. This quirky term is thought to have Ukrainian roots, derived from the word 'gatky' (ґатки), which means pants or briefs. Its adoption into prairie slang is a direct result of the linguistic influence of Ukrainian immigration on regional Canadian English. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Prairies
