Tim's Tip of the Day

The tidy axiom about a place for everything and everything in its place doesn't really match the real world where there is a time for everything and everything in its own time. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Signs of hunting season
Wednesday
September 30, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Late this afternoon there were a number of trucks loaded with or pulling trailers with ATVs aboard and that is a sure sign that its time for the moose to take cover and farmers ought to issue flak jackets to their cows and any horses worth protecting.
 
The Greenwater report
Monday
September 28, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park:
The Crawfords were in heaven last weekend as they spent it at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park. Had meals at the Cove and golf course and coffee at the Cove and lunch in Perigord. You can tell it recharged their batteries as they soaked in the fall colours, the coffee row banter and the Rider football game.
It was a really short summer
Monday
September 28, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
With frost last night and perhaps tonight as well we are definitely long past summer and for many Saskatchewan farms still thousands of acres to go before this year's harvest is over. The signs of a cold summer are not only in the fields but everywhere you look. In the future forestry people will look at the small growth rings and point out that that was the summer of 2009.
Tisdale Elementary goes on march
Friday
September 25, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
The whole school took to the streets in their annual walk. It was really a sight to behold with the entire street filled with happy smiling children. The staff and a good number of parent made the journey with the students and the brilliant sunshine and 22ºC temperatures made it the perfect weather for the outing.
Building 16 from Rose Valley
Friday
September 25, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Moving a building is only the start of this project as a new roof will be added and all the finishing touches to make this fourplex a pleasant dwelling that fits into the neighbourhood.
Lutheran fall rummage sale
Friday
September 25, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Amazing fall weather for this year's Lutheran fall rummage sale. The sale began Thursday and continues until noon on Saturday.
Parkland Photography Club
Wednesday
September 23, 2009
by: Darlene McCullough
Tisdale:
After taking the summer off the Parkland Photography Club is back in action with a meeting this week. They had a chance to share some of their summer picture taking and judge this month's theme shoot on bridges. A stunning contest winner is also included in the report on this month's meeting.
Building number sixteen moves in
Wednesday
September 23, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
This project got underway on August 25th when a large basement was put in the northeast corner of the old primary school playground. Today two buildings were moved into town that will be mated together to form this combination structure.
Pleasantdale eleven years later
Tuesday
September 22, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Pleasantdale:
The first story in Ensign about Pleasantdale was in June of 1998. It was time to revisit this pastural community and see it as it is now. So we have nine pictures of the community and though things have changed much remains the same.
Kipabiskau Regional Park
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Ensign was shut down this past week as we rebuilt and refurbished the office but today we visited one of Saskatchewan's most elegant regional parks. In many ways Kipabiskau rivals many of Saskatchewan's provincial parks with its upkeep and outstanding layout. Though we are getting into fall, Kipabiskau is still in summer. A remarkable cottage owner's paradise.
The Greenwater report
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Watrous:
We catch up on our motor home vagabonds as they spent a weekend and a little more at Manitou Regional Park at Watrous. Gerald obviously avoided the mineral brinny water the place is famous for as he didn't mention it once but we know he had a great time with their Sunseeker buddies.
Tisdale makes some paved streets
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Two major thoroughfares are being completely rebuilt as damage to these streets was so extensive resurfacing was not an option. The weather has not hampered the progress as the work is marching right along.
Tisdale and area Superannuates; September outing - Hidden Meadows
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Darlene McCullough
Tisdale:
The Tisdale chapter of superannuated teachers is one of the largest (non-city) groups in the province and meets once each month. This month it was a lunch meeting at Kipabiskau's Hidden Meadows golf club house and here is the report of that meeting.
Tisdale gets some of its streets ready to resurface
Thursday
September 10, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
A significant number of Tisdale streets that have been left for some years as gravel suspension testing roads are about to get paved. In some cases the street is being excavated down almost two feet and new gravel being packed in to make a solid roadway for the new paved surface to be laid shortly.
Bringing it in
Thursday
September 10, 2009
by: Judy and Timothy Shire
Tisdale:
This year's harvest is staggering along. There is a wide spread in the time various fields were planted and it is a test of considerable magnitude for farmers to get it off in a timely fashion. Most years the crops are sequential from one variety to another as they mature, but this year we see wheat, barley and canola all being harvested as they come ready.
The Greenwater report
Wednesday
September 9, 2009
by: Gerald Crawfrod
Saskatoon:
The Crawfords spend the week in town and attended the Labour Day fire works. This report has a thoughtful stock taking of the adventures Gerald has had in his life.
