100 Years Ago
The armistice that ended World War I began 100 years ago today. Europe lost almost an entire generation of men in that war.
In Flanders Fields
BY JOHN MCCRAE
In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe 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 throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.
The Poppies: Weeping Window art installation is a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War I. These photos are from when it was at Carlisle Castle last June.
Spring Gold
More vibrant than doubloons!
From a distance these yellow and orange flowers seem golden.
Our Flowery Path
May is a good month for puppy boot camp! Walking the dogs in the merry month of May is pure pleasure. I am blessed with neighbors who have splendid green thumbs, although in this case it seems like a red and orange thumb.
