Tuxedo Stan’s World Tour – More From Alberta

My friend Diana Piggott from Calgary, Alberta took minions Albert and Tony on another spring adventure in the Rocky Mountains.

These guys are sure having a lot of fun! Check it out:

Diana: I saw my first pussy-willows of the year!  Could be a sign that I don’t get out enough.  They were in the Kicking Horse Pass, where it still looks like winter.  I took the minions skiing again, and they were thrilled to see bushes covered with tiny kittens.

They climbed up for a closer look, but then found they needed to be rescued.

Can we call the fire department please?

Back in Calgary, out on a local hillside we saw the first native flowers of spring!  They are called prairie crocus, although they are not actually croci but a kind of anemone.

In case you were wondering, Victoria has indeed arrived safely.  I haven’t told Albert yet, I seem to be waiting for the right time.  Also, Albert is a bit scruffy after all his backcountry adventures, so I need to spruce him up appropriately!  I wish I were as well organised and creative as Kathy, but sadly I am not.

Adventures to be continued!

Best wishes,
Diana

I love getting email from Calgary – there’s always something exciting inside!

Thank you Diana, Albert and Tony.

Love,

Tuxedo Stan
