Yes!!!

Am I the only one who remembers calling it Firecracker Day?

At last we have sunshine, warm weather, leaves are just starting on the trees, and here by the shore the holiday traffic has begun.

Yikes! Donnat - reminds me of Timmins (where I lived for 25 years). Glorious weekend on the shores of Lake Ontario! Got some colour while gardening. High humidex here too, and we might get some rain this pm. Magnolia's finishing off, apple trees in full bloom, lilacs getting ready!

Happy Victoria Day!

Victoria day, firecracker day, the Queens birthday ,
When I was a kid we called it firecracker day, our parents called it "the Queens birthday".

In TImmins it was known as 'The May Run' - when everyone would make a run for their camps/cottages and spend the weekend getting them ready for the summer season. It was a rare Victoria Day weekend that didn't have snow or cold rain in Timmins, but every once in a while it would be glorious!

donnat - oh wow, snow?! That's nuts! I'm sure Winnipeg will be in it's full blazing heat soon enough
runcarla - gorgeous photos! Glad you're enjoying the weather.

I guess we should tell Firecracker (sharan) she has her own day up here in Canada too

Beautiful day here in Muskoka. A return of the "summer people" as the locals call them. Lots of cottages in our area.

Hope yours was great, Jackie! (I was inside all day writing a paper, and sneezing uncontrollably...sigh...cottonwood season must be upon us...)

I agree about the stellar weather! We live in the most beautiful city on the planet.
