May 14-Tower is done!

They were putting the last finishing touches on the Roughrider banner on the Tower yesterday. When you fly or drive into Regina, you'll know Regina has 'rider pride.

May 13-Lilacs are here

Looking around my garden, my peas, onions, beans, turnips, sunflowers, and lettuce have all poked their heads above ground to welcome spring...but they are still too small to photograph.

However, my lilacs are a different story. In about a week, I will have my first bunch of lilacs to bring in the house. In my mind, once you see lilacs and irises blooming in your yard, you can put away all winter clothes because the warm weather has definitely arrived!

May 12-Albert St & 12th Avenue

The City announced that in mid-June, 12th Avenue will become two-way instead of one-way and work will begin on 'revitalizing' Regina's downtown core.

So I took a photo of 12th Avenue - looking towards the downtown core - to record the way 'it used to be' before the changes take place.

May 11-Wrapping the towers #3

Well, they are making good progress on wrapping the towers. They had to halt for a couple of days because of the weather, but they were back out there on Monday.

You can make out the old Saskatchewan Roughriders logo at the top, and where it will eventually say "100 years of pride".

May 10-Courtney Street

This picture is of me driving along Courtenay Street in Regina's north end.

To your right is a fully developed neighbourhood. To your left is a farmer's field - literally the edge of town.

According to the City's northwest sector plan, this area to the left will be filled with houses within the next decade. The fields will exist no longer.

I wonder where people will go to ride their skidoos in the winter when houses are built in this field?
