Remembrance Day.
Good morning everyone! Today is Remembrance Day here in Canada. A day to remember those men and women who fought and died that we might enjoy the freedom we have today. It began the 11th hour, the 11th day, the 11th month when World War I ended. Originally called Armistice Day, it was changed to Remembrance Day in 1931. The poppy has become a symbol of that remembrance that we wear before and up to Remembrance Day. The poppy pictured above came from a seed of a poppy from Flander’s Fields. My dad served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. We should never forget those who fought for our freedom, and those who still serve to keep our freedom.
LEST WE FORGET
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful Monday and God bless!

Sunday’s Pictures #15.
Good morning on this rather chilly Sunday here at Steve’s Country! I hope all of you are enjoying your weekend, and yes, almost over for some of you. Weekends do seem to go so fast sometimes. Kind of like summer. We are so excited that summer has begun and suddenly, it’s gone. At least that’s the way it is up here in the north. Winter is our long season, usually 6 months, sometimes 7. On occasion it is only 5 months. We haven’t had one of those short winters for a long time, so maybe that means….Anyway, we can still enjoy some summer with pictures, which is what we will do today. So grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!
This little beauty above, the Viola, is one of our earliest spring flowers. Though a lot of people consider them to be a weed, I think they are a very pretty flower.
Above is a very lovely, large Iris from my landlord’s garden.
A very bright white Potentilla above, with guest.
There we have today’s selection of bright and sunny flowers reminding me of warmer days that were, and looking forward to their return once again. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and God bless!
