Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day!

For my US readers, it's the equivalent of your July 4th. This year's celebrations have been scaled back because we're still in the (hopefully) last stages of the pandemic and because of the sadness generated by the revelations of mass graves at residential schools across Canada. We've been asked to wear orange in solidarity with Canada's indigenous peoples. I don't have any orange clothing other than a toque, and it's too warm for that, so here's an orange lily from my front yard instead.

That didn't stop many people getting out for a walk or out onto the lake this morning, myself included.
