Is fast becoming my big burr oak. These small hardy oaks are native to our area, they have very thick bark that easily withstands fire, a necessity for survival in the days of frequent Prairie wildfires. 01/17/18 (Thank you so much for all your comments over the last few days, I do so appreciate your thoughtfulness and your kind ‘welcome back’.... :))
Incredibly cold this morning when we drove to Winnipeg, minus 40C with wind chill. This was actually a full double sundog... even though I couldn't catch it all. I've never seen one before! 01/15/18
If you look up & see this above you, make sure you are wearing a warm hat & big mitts before you go outside.... it will be v-e-r-y COLD...! 01/15/18
