Saskatchewan

It has been done.
And by that I mean my move to Saskatchewan. To reflect this major change, I did a minor redesign on the blog.
I have no doubt that my new environment will provide all the fodder needed to write a blog.
I arrived in the prairies on Monday, to find it was nothing and exactly like I expected. I was picked up at the airport by my overly-kind bosses and their dog, Angel.
We took the scenic drive home, giving me an opportunity to take in the sights —yes, Saskatchewan has sights.
It turns out that the natural landscape in South Eastern Saskatchewan isn't that different from Northern Ontario. Seems I bid my lilacs trees back home farewell too soon. Being that is it spring the fields are filled with adorable baby animals that you can't help but fawn over.

Next stop was the office, the World-Spectator, where I got the first glimpse of where the magic happens.

I got to meet the cast and crew that make the paper possible — a colourful bunch to say the least. Arriving on a week with two staff birthdays proved to be quite fruitful. Nothing says welcome like cake.
Besides warm welcomes, my first week was filled with loader rides, attempted fix ups at the post office and community meetings.
Saskatchewan, can't wait to see what else you have to offer.
