There's so much work to be done on this farm. I'm not one who does any of it. Never did sign up for the constant thankless labour and risk of it, and never will.

But I do enjoy living in the country, and feel lucky to be called out by the sky several times a day. Yesterday I took a walk in the morning, a bike ride in the afternoon, and another walk at sunset. If this keeps up I'll be in shape in no time.

Today's a hot one. I kept my morning stroll short because of it. There was no breeze at the time I went; well okay, in Saskatchewan there is almost always a breeze, even if it's hardly noticeable. And there was this time too.
