This small hamlet is located due east from Penhold,AB, about 1.5 hours from our home in Airdrie AB. Cam and I stopped in on a beautiful fall day in October at noon time. The residents show a pride of ownership, yards and homes were well cared for.
The smell of cut grass and raked leaves drifted on the air.
Lousana boasts a population of 46...about 25 homes. The air was crisp and clean. The sounds of bird song were all around us and we caught sight of small birds flitting here and there. For the short time we were there, it was so peaceful. When we retire, we want to live in a place just like this one.
Like most small towns on the prairie, size and wealth have changed with time. Most struggle as is evident with abandoned shops and street signs like the one above, that have 12 Street going into the bush.
