On Monday snow blew through our yard. And the yards of most of Saskatchewan.
I was scheduled to officiate a funeral. From 6:30 in the morning the discussion was ongoing.
The funeral home braved whiteout conditions to check on the gravesite. RCMP were closing roads. I made it to the church but the wind was biting and the snow was pelting.
As good farm families will do, we wait for blizzards to actually become full blown. Up until then its merely a snow squall.
This was no snow squall – so by 10:00 all had been informed of the postponement of the funeral.
The funeral ran on Tuesday. We were all in agreement this was a much better arrangement.
At least power failures weren’t present and I wasn’t blown into the grave by the wind.
I’m happy and so was the family.
