Sept 5th – Leask Sask



Sept 5th – Leask Sask                                                                              Weather – Overcast, 11 C
Total Kilometers this trip – 1946.0                                                             Kilometers today – 0

The past mornings we have started out by going to have coffee with my cousin Brenda in the Leask Village office.  My aunt had a kitchen tap and filter system which was not working very well anymore, old age, so we went to the Home Hardware store and picked up a new tap setup. I installed it for her, and she is very happy with the result.
 
After lunch we headed to another cousin of mine, daughter of Aunt Christine, named Karen and her husband Cliff. They live in a place called Shell Lake.  We could drive like hundreds of kilometres or go cross country on dirt roads, much shorter, that is the way my aunt usually goes, so that is the way we went.

Yesterday, on the dirt roads with overcast skies but dry, it was not too bad, but you know what happens when torrential downpours and dirt roads  mix – MUD, yuck.

Karen and Cliff are artists, but both in totally different fields.  Cliff likes playing in the mud with tractors and makes roads etc, while Karen paints in acrylics and watercolors.  Below are some pictures which Karen has done – very beautiful work.



They have a fairly large acreage and are subdividing a small portion off in approx. 10 acre parcels.


I really like the look of this land, nice rolling hills.

Karen made a lovely supper of chicken soup for us all, and then off we headed for Leask again.
