It's a different Canada Day this year.
We're following regulations
of a pandemic, like the rest of the world.
Despite record breaking heat and dry weather here,
my flowers are flowering beautifully,
even though it has not rained in over a month.
Fireworks were not allowed this year
because of the increase of forest fires,
across the province.
Two of my Grandkids, Sabrina and Mathieu,
came to visit last week.
Sabrina my granddaughter,
helped decorated the Gazebo.
We hung paper lanterns from the roof.
I cut some Oriental poppies and made a bouquet.
Added white to the pitcher,
snow-in-summer and caraway
The poppy is the official flower
of the Royal Canadian Legion,
memorializing our soldiers
who fought for our country.
The Royal Canadian Legions
are closed during this pandemic.
Poppies beside the old Hayraker
The Grandkids did crafts,
played games and visited the beach.
They collected some rocks on the beach
and painted them to add to the garden path.
Sabrina made my garden shed
her art studio.
Sabrina and Mathieu
They are growing up.
They are taller than me.
The garden path...
At the beach.
It's easy to physical distance there.
It may change after the tourists arrive,
for Summer vacation.

cute dog Pinot.
We played horseshoe.
Mathieu didn't feel well all week.
He had an earache, (Swimmer's Ear).
A lot of things are different this year,
We are in a drought, no rain for over a month.
I have no birds at the feeders.
I assume they are staying in the woods
where it is cooler and near the lakes
to get water.
I got the winning ringer.
We also repainted these garden
houses that I've had for many yrs.
I got them at the Dollarstore when it
first opened here.
Mine is in the middle.
Sabrina painted the 2 others.
Annie's is the first one.
It's missing some parts of the roof.
However, she made it look beautiful.
Mathieu choose black and white.
A before pic.
The kids were toddlers
when they first painted them
many yrs. ago.
We had a feed of lobsters.
In front of home we can see
the fishing boats in early morning
My sister Annie painted
this heart rock.
We are gratefully to live
in a Wonderful Country, Canada.
In closing I want to wish all my Canadian friends
A Happy Canada Day and all my American friends
on July 4th, a Happy Independence Day.
Stay safe and well.
Thanks for your visit xo..
