…. in remembrance of all Veterans</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Today we post with gratitude (not obligation).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Today we watched, we cheered, we cried, as we
remembered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(via CBC as the ceremony unfolded in Ottawa).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We are happy we did not remember alone. It was a joy to see
both old and young present in the large crowd.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We are so thankful for all those who fought for our
freedom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To all those brave soldiers who
were willing to leave the comforts of home and battle in the trenches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I’m sure those were not the most glorious of
days)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones, and to
those who have been injured while on duty.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We are thankful for all those who continue to fight for
freedom.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Today, I wonder if the greatest tribute to our veterans
would be, for all Canadians to work together, pray, to ensure the continuance
of freedom for all in the beautiful land.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Happy Remembrance Day! </div>

(Although I haven't figured our what kind of bird it is.) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anybody know?</div>

Whoever birdie is though....sure blends right in to the scenery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

But it is a win - win situation, since I enjoy the birds visiting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the birds enjoy my sunflowers!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is one of my favorite sites! Going for a walk down to the pond and discovering "a swimmer"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is just something about it, that gives me great joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This duck enjoyed many hours just swimming around, ducking under the water and soaking in the sunshine. It was such a beautiful fall day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel blessed to have the wildlife stop by, feeling safe enough to spend time in my corner of the world.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know that there are over 5000 varieties of dragonflies around the world?<br />
<br />
Of course most of them are, where we aren't, but we can still find a variety of them close to home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the one fact I like the most about dragonflies, is that they like something I don't ~ mosquitoes! So when I see a dragonfly I am glad!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
But enjoy them while you can, as a dragonfly spends most of its years in the water in the nymph stage and only a short time in the adult stage. (from several weeks to maybe six months)</div>
