Life on the Prairies

Life on the Prairies is full of surprises, ...you never know what's going to pop up!

Next time you find yourself going for a stroll, really look at the things around you.

Sometimes we take our surroundings for granted. We don't always see what is right in front of us all along. Like in everything in life, try looking and searching for the beauty in the things and also the people that surround you.
