Grady Birns 🇨🇦

Spotify Wrapped says my listening age is 70… Apparently I’ve been living in the early ’70s musically. Maybe it’s time I actually turn on the radio someday.

After a busy week it was nice to have a quiet day putting up the tree. As you can see, George appointed himself artistic director, and was quite excited with the whole process...Murphy just did Murphy stuff as usual. When we finished we had quite the session of Sears Christmas Wishbook poses.

Grady and his partner Heather enjoying a beautiful warm evening by a small fire in the back yard.

The same back yard at 4pm the next day blanketed in snow.

What crazy weather ! First pic is last night at 8pm. The temperature was 18c or about 64f. The second two pics were taken at 4pm today in the same back yard. The temperature is currently 0c or 32f. Welcome to Saskatchewan folks !

The " Showdown! " Album with Albert Collins , Johnny Copeland and Robert Cray is one of my desert island albums!

This guy is always climbing in my gear pile....

JJ Voss and A Damn Good Band performing at Danceland

JJ Voss and A Damn Good Band

JJ Voss and a Damn Good Band had a great show at the legendary Danceland in Manitou Beach on Saturday night. It was a blast ! Can't wait to be back !

I was just trying to have my Saturday morning coffee...but Murphy needed his head rest...

Definitely, that's a beautiful guitar!

Done this morning.

When I was a kid I had the Tokai Gakki Metal Driver pedal....I may even still have it somewhere.

We seem to have some young Jackrabbits living on our front lawn. The little guys have been there for several days. Looks like a grown up stopped in to check on them.

Those are Great Northern Flickers. We always have a few around, but there seems to be a lot more this year!

These guys woke me up this morning. I had to take the photos through the window otherwise I would have scared them away.

Sorry to hear this....get well soon !

Awesome! Great band!

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes ?

Caving instantly is a really good look...this is extremely disappointing...

If Trump wants to save the world from a maniacal world leader with an arsenal of nuclear weapons, why doesn't he just resign ?

I think Saskatchewan has more orange pylons than anywhere in the world...

I think Murphy got to have the weekend that I wanted to have...

He thinks he has to be in EVERY photo lol

I call this one " The Squirrel That Isn't There, and Hasn't Been For 45 Minutes"

Happy birthday JJ!!

A screen shot of a Meta ad. Pictured are Mark Carney and Danielle smith, with the question " Should Alberta separate from Canada?"

The second page of the Meta ad regarding Alberta separation.

Alberta separatism polls are getting wild. This is all over on other socials. Not only are they asking if Alberta should leave Canada… now they want to know if you'd move there after they do.

Murphy and George get quite excited when any of the Jackrabbits come to visit.

This partridge couple seem to live in, or near to our front yard. We see them just about every day. No one is more excited to see them than Murphy !

Murphy is really enjoying his long weekend.

I turned on Merlin yesterday afternoon and forgot it was recording....after nearly 2 hours I remembered to look. Not too bad ,the only one I didn't see was the Warbler.

The independent vote in Carleton only amounted to 892 votes...the NDP, Greens, UP and CFP only amassed a vote total of 1964 between all of them...even if Poilievre got all those votes ,he still lost by 1459 votes.There's no conspiracy.
