Today is Memorial Day, and also National Water a Flower Day. So I thought a Poppy Fields block would be appropriate on both counts. Memorial Day is dedicated to the memory of men and women who gave their lives in defense of their country’s freedom. (The word “defense” looks wrong to me somehow. I keep wanting to stick a letter C in there. Can it be that British spelling is contagious?) It’s also a great time to remember other loved ones who have passed away. It’s a good day to see a patriotic parade, to enjoy a Memorial Day pancake breakfast, or to place flowers at family members’ resting places. Because today is also the unofficial beginning of the summer season, it’s a very good day to have the first picnic or a barbecue of the year, or to spruce up your garden. However you spend it, I hope you have a nice Memorial Day.
