  • city shots

    I have to admit sometimes I don’t think my city is the prettiest city.  But, in the summer, it can be quite beautiful and there really is nothing like a Saskatchewan sky. Trying to out-walk a thunderstorm Favourite fountain in Regina Walking around Wascana Lake with a view of the Legislative Building Albert Street Bridge…

  • library books

    I work in a public library. These are some of the books I currently have checked out…I think right now I have 31 items on my card.  I’m also reading The Secret Garden on my iPad. Two questions…what are you reading right now?  How often do you visit your local library?

  • Cobalt

    Cobalt blue is my favourite colour.  It’s one of many reasons why these are my favourite pictures I’ve taken.  They were taken at Ocean Village in Tofino, BC last June (I’ve previously posted other pics from that trip and still have more to share). The evening I took them was quite chilly and the place we…

  • Digging in the Dirt – Part 3 (the final edition since I’m done planting now!)

    Project planting flowers 2012 is now complete. My back is sore and my wrist is sore from digging in the dirt, but a glass of wine will soon soothe the aches and pains.  Most of the flowers I planted today (more pansies and petunias, impatiens and daisies) are not photo-ready, so these are pictures from…

  • “The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm”

    I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to post tonight – it was a busy, interesting day.  I work in a library and today we took job action in our contract dispute with management.  Instead of going into detail about that, I’m going to share one of my favourite poems – this…

  • 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…

  • Thank you!

    Thank you for visiting my blog!  I’m still figuring this whole thing out, but so far, so good! (The bright side to the rain, the flowers will look amazing…I hope!)
