Skye says don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers with your booper! Spring has finally arrived in the Canadian North and Skye’s yard is filled with beautiful blooms. 🌸💕

@Satori How beautiful! 😍🌸🌸🌸 You all must be so relieved that Winter has passed. 🐰💕🌸🌺🌼🪺🦋
@MartineBunny We truly are! And it looks like we are free of snow, hopefully until fall! 😊🌷
C.@cazabon @MartineBunny Yep 😆 It’s okay, my expectations are low, since July is the only guaranteed snow-free month 😂
Nope. Literally true. It snowed here in Regina on August 30 two years ago, and The Northern Pikes, from Saskatoon, called their album "Snow in June" for a reason...
But everyplace has "bad" weather in one way or another. I understand Scotland is frequently overcast and raining, and has really short days during the winter...
@cazabon @Satori Yes, that’s what it’s like here. The sky is often grey and It does rain an awful lot. But the most unusual thing about weather in Scotland is how quickly it changes. In one day you could have sun then rain then sun again then hail stones, then sun 😂 Always good to carry an umbrella here, even if you think it’s going to be sunny. But we definitely don’t get winters as cold as you do in Canada. The freezing temperatures you have in winter are astonishing. 🥶

the only people here who carry umbrellas are tourists - it's GoreTex or fleece for the natives, rain be darned

When my family moved to Saskatchewan from another place, I tried to use an umbrella once.
Once.
It's way too windy here for umbrellas. Mostly they'll turn inside-out the moment you open them, or be ripped from your hand - but even if not, the rain's coming down sideways, so you can't keep yourself dry regardless...
@cazabon @RainCityBunnies @MartineBunny Yes!!! Saskatchewan is windy. When we drove through and stopped in Moosomin for a Skye break and dropped our keys down the hole where the seats join the floor (sigh. Yes.) the car doors nearly blew right off. Regina was also quite windy, we found.

There's an old joke: why is it so windy in #Saskatchewan?
Because #Manitoba sucks and Alberta blows. 😜
Not really, I love #Alberta.
@cazabon @RainCityBunnies @MartineBunny Naughty! My family homesteaded in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Winnipeg is lovely to visit! We adore that city. 🥰 The only place that seems unfriendly out of the two provinces is Disley. 😂 We always find the sign going back rather unfriendly…
@MartineBunny @cazabon @RainCityBunnies Exactly! 🤣 I get the distinct feeling they don’t want visitors… 🤣🤣🤣
@Satori @MartineBunny @RainCityBunnies
There are a lot of towns in Saskatchewan that have signs like this - they're too small to even have a gas station.
Disley's got 58 people as of last count. But there are three unoccupied private dwellings in the village! If you ever wanted the rural life, you could pick one up for a song...

I knew a woman who bought a house in Riceton (just outside Regina) - population 33 in 2021 - for $6000 to live in for the duration of her university studies. That was equivalent to 1 year's rent on an apartment in the city at that time.
So, #millennials ... still think you'll never be able to buy a house? Come to the #prairies ...
@cazabon @MartineBunny @RainCityBunnies Really- Wow! You know, if you have a work from home job, it could work…
@cazabon @MartineBunny @RainCityBunnies Three! Oh my goodness. Would I have to peer through the blinds suspiciously if I lived there?
