Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

In Remembrance

I come from a strong military family with ancestors that were instrumental in shaping the history of Canada. I grew up surrounded by relatives who had fought for this country. Some of them made the ultimate sacrifice and while they are no longer here they live forever in our memories. If this video does not bring tears to your eyes, nothing will. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we honour our fallen with 2 minutes silence from shore to shore of our great nation, Canada. Please join our nation in showing our respect and how thankful we are for enjoying the freedom they fought so hard for.

    Very nice video of the Canadian soldiers. I have seen many overseas with us Americans, always serving right there out front.

    Hi there ...

    Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. I, too, have a strong family background in the military... 4 generations on my husbands side; my husband is in the Navy (36 years) and I have a son in the infantry. I also served. And, yes, it did bring tears to my eyes. We need to remember !!

    This is a very touching video. Thanks to all your soldiers there. Canada has always been a staunch ally of the U.S. Thank you all for your friendship and support to us here in the south.
