Sign of the Times?

So far seeding this year has gone quite well despite what has been the coldest spring I've ever witnessed, it just didn't seem to want to warm up at all this year until finally about 2 weeks ago we started getting some actual tee-shirt weather, thank God...I thought it would never warm up!

Anyways a couple oddities I have noticed here in this time when people are starting to move back to Saskatchewan along with the talks of oil and coal production(an idea which I really am not too fond of).

On our land we have a crossing where the water overflows out of the lake, much to my suprise there was a spring of water that just showed up in the crossing overnight, which I thought was both cool and odd given the rarity of water springs in our region.

Well odd enough as that was, back when my grandfather's generation were the ones tending to the land, there used to be fish in nearly every little hole that contained the slightest bit of water...until the old geezers fished them all out which was well before my time.  Well long story short there was still a creek or two that had fish when I was a child, but those too had no fish to speak of since I was very young...until now, it seems the fish have returned, hopefully to stay this time!

As for seeding, well I have about a week left to go but given the rain we got the other night (which by the way was the first rain we have actually needed in four years), I am gone fishing!
