We had decided ahead of time that we’d not only make this a farm/house hunting trip, but also a bit of a second ‘honeymoon’. We never really had a true first honeymoon, as we had made the move across country from British Columbia to Ontario right after our wedding 20 years ago. This would be a similar trip, yet this time we’d take our time, a little, and we wouldn’t be travelling as far.

It had been a long winter. Hubby had been away almost three months, with just one week home during that time. It was time to be together, to continue on in the search of our future dreams, our goals.

We remained in Edmonton, at the West Edmonton Mall, for two nights.

We spent time relaxing, enjoying one another’s company, and we even spent some time visiting with family that I hadn’t seen in over twenty years.

It was a very nice time.

The next day we headed to Saskatoon.

We saw some very interesting sights along the way.

Some bison. We would love to raise a couple one day, but would need to learn a lot more about them first. Do they need to be in large herds, or like cows, can they be in pairs, etc.? Lots to learn about all aspects of farming.

One day at a time. We’re not looking to become full fledged farmers, just looking to become some what self sustaining. Some land, some gardens, some animals. It’s all part of the dream.

But first, we need a farm/house/land!

We were impressed by the wooly coats of all the horses we saw. They have lots of room to roam in Saskatchewan!

Lots of old farm houses, and barns. Some of my favorite things to photograph. However, all these photos had to be taken through the truck window, so… not my best. One day I shall roam the country side with lots of time on my hand, and lots of time to stop at each one.

Grain elevators were a common site of course.

Although the new modern style of grain elevators don’t ‘tickle my fancy’ quite as much as the old style. Although I realize modernization is a necessity.

And 7 or 8 hours later, we arrived in Saskatoon!

We had plans to meet up the following day, Sunday, with two realtors, a husband and wife team.

At that point, our house/land/farm hunting would truly begin.
