It's a holiday Monday!
Capping off a long weekend with sunshine. And not just any old long weekend but the summer kickoff weekend. I wrote in my Thursday, or Thereabouts post last week, that I was hoping that this great first long weekend of summer was much brighter and gentler than 2022's version and kicks off a season of warm days and starry nights along with enough rain to keep it all beautiful. Well we got the much needed rain on Saturday, all 52mm (2.05 inches) and we got warm sun on Sunday and today. So we're off to a great start.
It's been quiet here at the homestead. No family gatherings or other social events, which feels a bit odd, like there's something out of place. I'll try to fix that next year! Saturday's rain left me ample time to meander through photos of past Victoria Day weekends. How and where have I let loose the bonds of winter on this revered weekend in the past?
A few times we were cruising.

And guided by Schwartz, our intrepid we found places to raise a pint in every port!
But most often we are here at home where blossoms and blooms, firewood and feasts, with feathered and furry friends along with little ones decorate the days.
Even this year, we made it fun in our own way. There was a trip into town - for more bits and bobs for the bathroom reno and new training shoes for me. What we came home with was a bag of elbows, hubs, and shut-offs, no shoes, and a new laptop computer! Turns out the computer store was beside the sports store. Who knew? And there was this sale... Need I say more?
As always, fantastic photos!
