Not only is the name 'Wakaw' a palindrome, but also sounds like a caw-ing crow. Try it with me "wah-KAHH."  Now wasn't that fun. Do you know what's also fun about Wakaw? The fact that the town is surrounded by nature (a stone's throw from Wakaw Lake) yet has urban amenities, fostering a  large eco-tourism focus.

You're Using Soil From Your GardenGarden soil is some combination of sand, clay, or loam (loam is generally equal parts of sand, silt, and clay). In a pot, these conditions result in either a hardened clump of dirt or your plant living on the beach (sandy). Generally, each type of plant needs a different combination of these soil types (for example, cacti prefer a sandier soil combination).

You're in the right place. Galentine's Day was coined by Leslie Knope of Parks and Recreation. In her own words, Galentine's Day is, "ladies celebrating ladies." The pretend holiday is usually celebrated on February 13th. However, I like to extend any celebration by at least a week, so feel free to do the same.How to Celebrate While Galentine'sThu, 14 Feb 2019 03:02:02http://sundaydrive.ca/blog/galentineshttp://sundaydrive.ca/blog/sk-chocolates-and-indulgencesSK Chocolate IndulgencesOnce upon a time, I didn't like chocolate - or so I thought. Please pick your jaw off the floor while I explain: it turns out the sugar-filled chocolate (Coffee Crisp excluded), was keeping me from my true chocolate-snob potential. Because it's so versatile, and slightly healthy, chocolate pairs well with everything - making it the perfect gift.

Well, you should be. Shopping local puts more dollars back into your economy, it's more environmentally sustainable and it fosters local decision-making. Supporting local businesses also creates local diversity, product variety, and community vibrancy, to name a few. Below, in no particular order, are 20 local makers that I have personally picked out based on their customer service, community initiatives, and their well-crafted products.Tue, 18 Dec 2018 03:41:11http://sundaydrive.ca/blog/20-local-makershttp://sundaydrive.ca/blog/momma-bMomma B's Homestyle CafePlease note that Momma B's has been sold. Let me just preface this blog by saying I visited Momma B's Homestyle Cafe simply to add them to the YXE Best Fall Drink.
