canada day pics

today we are 145 years old as a nation ... happy canada day to us!!!  here are a few pics of life over the past few days!!!    and happy upcoming 4th of july to my american buds ...

here's my cousin's puppy ... we were trying to get her to go swimming, but it seems she just didn't want to - no matter how we enticed her!

my lilies ... there are 6 different varieties of them in my garden ... they are something that the previous owners planted, and i've enjoyed ... thank you Lord!!!

this is my front deck hanging plant, the one i see as i sit here typing ... i love these colours ... they make me smile ...

last night leo and i enjoyed the town fireworks ... we can see them very well from our deck ... the town is just hopping with summer people and visitors from all over ...

today the canada day parade walked by our door ... i love small towns for the simple sweetness of occasions like this!!


I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live.  That every man may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil - this is the gift of God.
 ~ Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

Happy Canada Day to you & Leo! I love your hanging basket...its gorgeous! And how fun to have the parade come by your doorfront! We had a wagon train come down the road in front of our house...I grabbed the little camera and thought I was shooting photos, but turned out I had the movie mode on! Da! but the sun was so bright I couldn't see the settings at all...really. Today is our 45th wedding anniv. It is hot here, in the 90's, about 700 homes are still without power because of a storm that went through Friday. We were blessed to not be one of that number. It must be awlful in this heat not to have ac or fans etc. *hugs* Maggie Ann

Happy Birthday Canada! My dad was born there. Didn't become an American citizen until he was 38...partly because he didn't realize his mom didn't complete the paperwork when he moved here when he was 16. Oops. Your flowers are soooooo beautiful!
