On our first drive out to Ruth's Ridge as a construction crew of four, Nathan hooted as he pointed out a sign just south of Road 85N. Set just outside the trees next to a driveway was a large white sign which, in bold black letters, declaimed the locale of "CLEARWATER COLON FARMS."
For nine weeks we have watched the last bit of the errant, drooping, hardly-there Y come completely unglued and finally disappear. Apparently, the Hutterite colony of the above truncated name decided enough entropy had occurred and, today, as I drove back to Winnipeg for a few errant plumbing bits, there were a few of the men of the colony and the signpainter admiring a colourful, newly-installed diarama of pastoral bliss ala Clearwater.
And we never got a picture of the old sign. Pity.
