HAPPY VICTORIA DAY
TO ALL MY CANADIAN FAMILY AND FRIENDS




Today is Victoria Day in Canada which is the unofficial kick off to the end of winter and the beginning of the summer season.

Fishing season begins, cabins are re-opened after being closed up over the long winter, gardens are being planted, flower baskets are hung, picnic baskets and bbq's are brushed off......summer has begun!

Today, I will spend working in the garden, sewing a bit and enjoying the sunshine. The kitties will sit by my side while I plant wishing the garden was their new litter box but the flowers will go in, the weeds pulled and the moth balls laid strategically between the plants .... luckily the kitties HATE those little white balls and will stay out.

Maybe a little BBQ later for dinner with some salad and a tall glass of iced tea to quench the thirst.  All in all, a day that I will celebrate alongside with our northern neighbors and friends.

  3. We live near the UK, but never heard of Victoria Day. I do know Queen Elisabeth is celebrating her diamond Jubelee this year, but that's as far as my knowledge goes....
    Enjoy your garden and the beautiful weather (I hope) and let summer begin!
    Hug for you, thanking for all those nice comments on my blog.
