Canada Day 2020

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.

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..
