The soil, a rich, dark loam, yields to the plough with a sigh, supporting fields of golden grain that shimmer under the wide Alberta sky, a panorama punctuated by the occasional clump of trembling aspen, their leaves a vibrant green in summer, a fiery spectacle in autumn. Even the air here seems to possess a certain clarity, carrying the scent of sun-baked earth and the faint, sweet perfume of wildflowers that brave the open spaces.
