Bert took me Saskatoon picking here a few year's ago. Although berry picking is still quite a few weeks away, we were just happy to be able to enjoy a sunny afternoon in the outdoors after a long cold winter. It's been a late spring and the leaves were not yet out on the trees, but the frogs were in full voice and provided a noisy serenade, while numerous waterfowl kept us entertained. Bert and Barb have seen moose and deer here in the past and we saw evidence of their passing but no actual sightings.
Bert is an avid outdoorsman and came well supplied with everything we could want for a comfortable afternoon, including a blanket to spread on the ground as well as a comfy hammock. Ahhh, what luxury!
Bert had also brought along his hunting bow and spent some time target shooting, and then both Barb and I tried a few rounds, with Bert offering instruction. It's not as easy as it looks!
What a wonderful way to enjoy one of the first mild, sunny days of the season.
