November 11 - Remembrance Day

When I turned my calendar page to November this year, the picture was of poppies. For many people, the red poppy is certainly associated with Remembrance Day. In our town, my friend Dorothy, as a Legion representative, coordinated the distribution of the little poppies that we wear on our lapels. The money donated for this endeavour will then be used to benefit the veterans in our community.

This week leading up to November 11, Lyle and I walked past the front lawn of one of the town’s seniors centers. Outside on the front lawn, the staff had placed about thirty or so red painted wooden poppies. What a meaningful display! I have included a photo of the poppies with this post. I am standing in the midst of this artificial garden and the Canadian flag is flying in the background.
