So beautifully written! I found the connection of painful experiences with the establishment of roots very insightful and helpful. Thank you for this.

as a neighbour to the east of Alberta (MB), i felt the beautiful and difficult descriptions of this prairie scenery keenly. i especially loved the knitting together of hectares, roots and time as "patchwork." it's both hard-earned and quite lovely! and thank you Clayjar for pairing this with a painting from the Group of Seven! it's always a delight to see those! :) <3

So nice to hear from a fellow Canadian who understands the “beautiful and difficult” of our prairies. Thank you, neighbour-from-a-province-over 🤗
