Tisdale: Though often take the sky and the scenes it presents for granted, each season has its own special sky signature and spring is by far the most spectacular. Here are night pictures of the spring sky over the last three days. Interestingly enough despite the foreboding nature of the images no rain fell on me from these skies seen in these pictures.

Tisdale: Yesterday it was a peaceful river flowing along nicely for the first time this year. Today it is a flood stage pouring out of its banks and swamping the low lying areas but not threatening any houses or property as these are the places it usually floods.

Dublin, Ireland: The Irish quite rightly consider The Book of Kells as one of the most remarkable works in the world. The first four gospels of the New Testament created by three master craftsmen more than a thousand years ago is housed in the Dublin Trinity College Library. Michael went there to see it and this is his story.

-
Tisdale: Though the melting has been proceeding for a month the water has just been gradually moving along and the Doghide itself has up until today just been a wandering pond. That warm temperature last night and the fields and streams are now moving and the little Doghide river ceased being a pond and is a nice, well behaved river conducting the water through and beyond town staying within its banks.

Ireland: Palm trees in Killarney, Bikers in Belfast and a Belfast hockey rink. Ireland's charm is very much in the way it has continued to adapt to the world in which it finds itself. Ireland is one of the leading technological countries in Europe with computer technology, IT and aviation all melded into the complexities of a very modern society.

Ireland: So you have a rented car, driving on the other side of the road and trying to see the country. So, what do you do? Simple you adapt. Mike dug back through his experiences and realised by using skills from decades ago the fearful could be turned around to become fun and adventure.

Weekes: March in Saskatchewan can be one of the most harsh months of the year. Just consider last year when the temperature in the middle of the month was below -30ºC for days. Today we go back to 1974 when it was cold, windy and there was much more snow than needed.

Bourgault Industries of St. Brieux has produced a monsterous 700 bushel grain tank for its seeding system that when full of seed and fertilizer has the capacity to do a whole quarter section field without having to stop and reload.

Ridgedale: Elevators gone or closed, school closed, a community that one might think of as in retreat but in many ways still a viable community and clearly still the home and work place for a good number of people. Here are some pictures taken last Friday of the community and some interesting aspects to what can be see just driving around in Ridgedale.
