What I Know For Sure This Morning

Posted on May 29, 2023 by Linda

I’m sitting in the wing chair in my office looking west at a dark, broody sky. (This photo does not reflect that, obviously. I captured this image the other evening. I love it.) There’s a possibility of a thunderstorm according to the forecast. One thing we’ve learned about Saskatchewan is that the weather can change on a dime, so I won’t guess at how the morning will unfold.

What I know for sure is that in a couple of hours, I’ll drive Makiya to school in Caronport while Gerry continues laying cedar chips around trees and perennials that line our back yard.

I know, for certain, that I’m relatively uninformed regarding current world events at the moment and I’m okay with that.

I also know that:

  • I’m tired.
  • I need to cut my carb consumption.
  • Saskatchewan weather will surprise and dismay us this summer in terms of the garden.
  • We’ll be eating fresh picked radishes very soon.
  • I miss my little Yorkie, Murphy, deeply.
  • One can enjoy a good measure of cultural activities in Moose Jaw without feeling overwhelmed by crowds.
  • Our next door neighbour attends the same church we do.
  • I will write later this morning.
  • It’s time to hit the shower.

What do you know for sure these days?

Hi, I’m Linda Hoye. Welcome! I live in Saskatchewan, Canada with my husband and our Yorkie, Molly. Retired from my corporate career, I appreciate having time and opportunity to fill my days with things that nourish my soul and spirit like writing. watercolour painting, reading, gardening, and blogging about the simple joys of every day. I’ve been blogging since 2008, starting fresh here in 2022 when we moved home to Saskatchewan. May this space be a sanctuary in a very noisy world. 😊
