House Sparrow at the Saskatoon Farm

House Sparrow at the Saskatoon Farm
All three photos posted this morning were taken two days ago, on 2 December 2017. I drove SE of the city to go to the very first Christmas Market held by the Saskatoon Farm, feeling that I should support it. When I arrived in the area, cars were parked so far along the road leading to the Farm, meaning a long walk. I kept driving and told the guy, who was keeping an eye on traffic, that I needed to turn around and go home, as it was too far for me to walk. He told me to keep going, as there was room much closer to the main building. Sure enough, I found a very handy parking spot. They obviously had a very successful turn-out for their first of two days' Market.

After wandering around, including looking to see if there were any old sunflower seed heads or chickens to photograph, I left for home. I was still stressed out over trying to set up an iPad mini that I had just bought, that I didn't feel like driving a bit further south to the Frank Lake area. I've never had a smart phone, iPad or any kind of tablet, and this is proving to be a huge learning curve, despite some help from the store from which I bought the gadget. A friend told me to make an appointment at the Apple Store, for someone to set up the whole thing for me. Did that online last night and will be going in a few days' time, thank goodness.

On the way home, I made a last minute decision to turn off the highway and drive in search of a little old church, the Davisburg Community Church. I had seen it for the very first time in February 2016, thanks to the directions given me by friend, Phil..

The church and small cemetery are fenced off, though I did notice one small section of fence along the road had been destroyed – hopefully not by photographers wanting to get a different angle! There is also a No Trespassing sign there. I was able to get two or three angles from the ditch along the road. I could find nothing online about this church, but then Phil sent me the link to a wedding that was held there, showing the inside and outside.
