May 18-Assiniboia Club building

Founded in 1882, the Assiniboia Club in Regina was THE gentlemen's club at the turn of the century. Deals were made; fortunes founded and lost by leaders in the community. It is one of the few buildings from this period that still exist in Regina.

To learn more about its history (and to see a photo of it from 1925), look at this Wikipedia entry about Regina's old buildings.

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!
