I have been to all 10 provinces, but sadly I have yet to visit the 3 territories that complete our country. One day... I hope to remedy that.

I meantioned plural birthdays in my blog title. The second birthday is that of my baby. He turns 43 today. I can hardly believe it's been 43 years since we welcomed a beautiful blue eyed baby boy into our family, but I can't imagine what our lives would have been like without him.
Happy Birthday "Georgie"

I stayed home and held down the fort; repainted my vintage step stool/plant stand and puttered around planting some more flowers.
However you celebrated Canada's birthday, I hope you enjoyed it!
