Off for the Victoria Day Weekend

This is a long weekend here in the Great White North. Monday is Victoria Day, in which we celebrate the Queen's birthday. It's not actually her birthday (and Victoria hasn't been the Queen for a long time) but hey, any excuse for a long weekend. It's often referred to as the May 24 weekend, more for the usage of 24 to designate a case of beer than the date. The beer should, of course, be drank by an open fire overlooking a northern lake. It's also the traditional date to get your garden planted in this part of the world. 

Given the current situation that we find ourselves in, long weekends are a bit irrelevant, but if the rain holds off, we'll be planting the garden and doing other yard work. So I'm taking the weekend off from blogging. See you all on Tuesday.
