After our trip to the northern territories we're going to head back in a south-westerly direction and hit Alberta. Home of the current Prime Minister. The oil sands. The West Edmonton Mall. Dinosaurs. The Calgary Stampede. Oh yeah, and as they like to remind other Canadians - no provincial sales tax. But most importantly it's the home to some great Alberta bloggers. As the reader of a lot of knitting bloggers I've heard my fair share of "stash busting" stories. But I'm not used to people talking about coffee stashes. I just needed to find Taming Coffee . As much as I love this coffee, buying 20 pounds of it was probably a mistake because I will have to forgo other great coffees while I work my way through the Harar and the 30 pounds of other coffees that currently form my stash. Coffee lovers must check out her roasting pages . Maybe reading Karen's blog All Downhill From Here will convince us all to hit the road and go running? Or maybe we'll just continue to live vicariously through her running... Allie at Summer's Daydreams found a place of peace - the local dog park . Mommyknows reminds us why kids keep us on our toes . Teresa is posting a poem a day . At Write With Light you can go along on a fishing adventure . There are some great Alberta photo blogs - check out the lovely photos of Melissa Earle , Red Jedi Photography and Alberta Postcards . And I can't leave without at least one post on the Calgary Stampede. Bella's Box ...
