Rainy Day Thank You

It's a rainy Sunday and a great time to blog. Thanksgiving was celebrated a couple of weeks ago in Canada. My family did not get together as one family member was busy, "Feeding the World" as my Grandson said. I wish we could have spent time together that weekend but when you have the gigantic challenge of providing food, a meal in which we give thanks, will have to wait. When the crops are harvested and the combine is back in the shed, then the celebration will begin.

Thank you to every farmer who "feeds the world". No matter which part of agriculture you are involved in, you are important. On this rainy day I hope each one of us can stop for a few moments and give thanks for "Farmers".

Proud Canadian

HAPPY CANADA DAY! I am so blessed to live in the greatest country in the world. There are so many words that describe Canada. For me its the  vast open spaces, beauty of the land and  the freedom to live one's life. My life consists of faith, family, farming and friends. I love the fact that Canadians are known for saying sorry and eh! We constantly talk about the weather. By the way, a much needed  rain is falling as I type. YEAH!!! Hockey and lacrosse, the two national sports, rock! The beaver our nation's animal is truly symbolic of  hard working Canadian men and women. The Maple Leaf adorning our countries flag- does any country have a better looking flag? No way! Who else would name their currency a" loonie"?  Canadian treats including  maple syrup, poutine and beavertails. YUMMY! This unique country should be celebrated everyday. Start today by  attending Canada Day celebrations in your area. HAPPY 149th BIRTHDAY CANADA!
