| Located South of Crystal Springs and perhaps just over a mile North of the intersection
with the Melfort to Saskatoon highway this log house, now crumbling and saging into
the prairie around it must have seen its share of Christmas celebrations. It would
have heard the joy of children and been filled with the aroma of hot food and sheltered
its inhabitants from howling winds and blinding snow. But it is likely that Christmas
here was celebrated in January of each year, because less then a quart mile South
of it sits the magnificent, and un-named domed church seen on the right and with
is amazing spires below. Now only a single farm yard is in the vacinity of what must
once have been a community, for such a church to have been created. It is so easy
to forget, driving around Saskatchewan, that for much of this province, at one time
there was a family living on each quart section of land. |
