We have covered a lot of territory in 45 weeks of recipes and history. This has been fun for me and I hope you have enjoyed it as well. From the First Nations people who helped the settlers by showing them how to use the indigenous foods and medicines, the Metis who adapted their foods to both cultures, to the settlers who came bringing their own heritage recipes with them. The first settlers were a hardy bunch who often had to make do with what little they had thus adapting their recipes to create something new. Everyone had enough for one more person should someone drop in unannounced whether they had a little or a lot. Prairie people were just that way, very hospitable.

I get attached to things. Not that I need to buy more or new things. Things from the past that have meaning for me. When our family settled on the farm in the Riding Mountain area, we selected a wagon wheel light fixture to brighten our meals at the family table.

It is a well known fact that animals feel and discern the emotional and physical state of their owners. A horse will react to how his owner feels that day. He will not perform to his highest capacity if the rider is distressed or ill.
