We moved to the site last Tuesday. This is Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s home now, ’til the end of August. Spending the summer on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River is bliss – even in the extreme weather. We spend so much of the year cooped up in our houses, running to our warm cars, then dashing back inside a warm building, that it’s refreshing to spend eight weeks of the summer with only a tent and trailer for protection from the elements.

The first day was rainy. The second day was windy. On the third day, there was sunshine. Hurrah!
