        The poppy is the United Kingdom's (and a few other countries including Canada) way of remembering their veterans and civilians killed hence "Remembrance Day", Armistice Day and of course Veteran's Day here.

        Ironically, it is the flower of the opimum plant. I think it was someone from Canada that first wrote about the poppy fields and war.

          Thank You, General.

          Makes me feel quite alone in my ignorance at this point.......

          On a lighter note, did you like my choice of yachts?

            In Flanders Fields


            By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-191


            Canadian Army



            IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
            Between the crosses row on row,
            That mark our place; and in the sky
            The larks, still bravely singing, fly
            Scarce heard amid the guns below.


            We are the Dead. Short days ago
            We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
            Loved and were loved, and now we lie
            In Flanders fields.
            Take up our quarrel with the foe:
            To you from failing hands we throw
            The torch; be yours to hold it high.
            If ye break faith with us who die
            We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
            In Flanders fields.


            McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. Here is the story of the making of that poem:

              Very important day indeed! Our family has never disrepected rememberance day. My Grandfarther served and defended the English colonies of Hong Kong. he was eventually captured by the Japanese and died of starvation. My Grandmother never did remarry, holding on to the memories of him until she was 84 years old. The 11th day the 11th hour is when Canadians salute our fallen veterans.

                          No, unfortunately I wasn't able to go. The Parade was a great success. My son's troop was the 2nd in line courting the Grand Marshall Vets, etc. It was 27 degrees outside, but no snow. Now it has warmed up to 54 outside...a wonderful day to celebrate!

                          Did you do anything exciting today!!

I've been waited on hand and foot for the last few days, how exciting, lol .... and went for a very long walk with my doggy and my friends doggy today, two dogs are better than one, lol, tangled ropes, and interesting when meeting, a shephard, a jack russell and a very large poodle, lol, we all survived and the entire neighborhood was "sniffed" out ... lol ... that was about the extent of it.

                              Sounds like a great time and probably a much needed rest! I use to have a Jack Russell. He started jumping the fence, so I gave him to my middle sons inlaws. Now I have two wonderful Golden Retreivers.


                              When we go for a walk....well let's just say, they ususally take me for a walk! Great Dogs though...I love um...
