Last week driving around in the Porcupine Hills on my usual gravel roads and dirt trails I noticed the rattling and banging coming from the front end of my little truck was getting loud and, frankly, a bit scary.

I’d put it off for as long as I could but the little truck needed new front shock absorbers.

The rest of the week passed, the warm weather got the gophers up and running around in full force.

Canada geese were in the fields, as they often are, but there were bunches of them in the air as well.

Many thousands of geese spend the winter in and around Calgary , toughing it out here instead of flying south.

The further east I went, the more birds I saw.

There were swans, big white swans and pintails on the ponds a bit further east.
