Wordless Wednesday: Nose Hill, Oct 10th
I have lived in Calgary for almost 20 years, and had never been to Nose Hill before Saturday. The Husbeast (who grew up a few blocks away) felt that needed to change. He gave me a choice…the “Ho Hum Way” or the “Fun Way”. My knees aren’t too happy I chose the Fun Way… 😉

It’s been two months since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned.
