  • Queen Elizabeth II Gardens

    The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building in Regina re-opened on the weekend after a $1 million renovation.  I love the Leg. – I think it’s a beautiful building (although I certainly don’t love the governing party that is inhabiting it right now!).

  • Digging In the Dirt Part 2

    “In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” Margaret Atwood Didn’t get any dirt under my fingernails today since it rained here most of the day, so I took a couple pictures instead. This doesn’t quite go with the rest of the post, but rookie camp for the Saskatchewan…
