Eclectic Musings of a Woman of a Certain Age
Lovely. I will be thinking of my father, brother, grandfathers, and other ancestors tomorrow and appreciating my freedom.
Me too Bijoux.
Lovely, Polly.
Thank you Jeanie.
Remembering those who served is so important.
We owe them so much.
A British poppy! Our Canadian ones look different but, of course, the meaning and act of remembrance is the same.
Ours are very hardy, they often grow in poor rough soil.
"are" the same. I need to brush up my grammar.
We certainly did and stood on the doorstep on Sunday for the two minute silence.
I don't know if anyone did that in the village, we just sat still at home, and then again on the 11th.
Is that a Poppy? Our state flower is the California Poppy. It's a vibrant orange and grows wild along the edges of the countryside and in fields in different areas. They are so pretty.~Sheri
Hi Sheri, yes it is a poppy, and most of ours grow in rough soil. They look lovely in great swathes.
You made my heart leap when I saw this poopy, it's such a reminder of my UK days!Wren x
I bought a red and gold coloured pin this year. I could send you one for next year :-)
