We didn’t get a fire ban until the end of summer last year. But it’s been crazy dry the last couple years so here we go right at the start of the camping season (and yes, the regional park we’re booked into won’t escape without a fire ban either until some rain comes.) đ Thank goodness […]
For the upcoming summer, we weren’t sure whether we’d end up camping at a provincial park like we did last year or if we’d switch to a regional park. Both have advantages and disadvantages but with Shea’s mom undergoing cancer treatment, it made our decision to go to Nickle Lake Regional Park where her folks have […]
Shea saw on social media that their was a cancellation for the first of the weekly “Supper in the Orchard” events at Over The Hill Orchards just outside Regina so snatched it up. We’ve been out to Over The Hill Orchards once before for a Mother’s Day Brunch event but their restaurant area has undergone […]
I guess it depends on how tonight’s parties go but I doubt there will be any SLA bonfires since the venue this year is Regina instead of Waskesiu. đ
Tonight was the 25th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Book Awards so, as someone who first attended in 1997, has been at probably 15-20 of those ceremonies and has also served SBA in a variety of capacities from board member to gala volunteer to web site designer to A/V switcher, I thought it’d be fun to […]
For some it’s robins. Most depart south by the end of August and begin to return north in February and March (exact dates vary with latitude and climate). For others, it’s crocuses. Crocuses typically appear shortly after the snow melts, sometime around April 1st-21st. Â Blooms only last for two weeks, so the window to see […]
I sometimes joke “And sometimes people ever borrow books!” when I think about all the things we have to do as librarians that have nothing to do with people taking out books and then returning the books so that others may enjoy them next. I’m not even going to discuss why someone would have to […]
The outpouring of support after the horrible Humboldt Broncos bus accident that killed 16 people and left 13 more injured has been unprecedented. People from not only across Saskatchewan and Canada but indeed, from around the world, have sent money and condolences. Tonight, the GoFundMe page that originally aimed to raise $10,000 and is about […]
Shea recently saw on FB that two local restaurants – the Capitol Jazz Club and the Lancaster Pub – were re-creating some favourites from the iconic 1990’s Regina sub shop, California Subs – for a limited time. So when we had plans to go out for the evening, it was no question where our first […]
I was heading downtown for a different social event after work yesterday when I decided to pop into Rebellion Brewing to have “a couple” samples from the many unique brews at their 4th Annual Cask Fest before carrying on my way. Rebellion is a great local craft brewery but I don’t think their tap room allows […]
