In these hard covid days and world events and other tragic items on the new find solace in sappy Hallmark movies!!
The same theme and kiss at the end.
The military reunions surprising a family member also make me happy for that family.
So does anyone else watch them for some momentary pleasure in their life?

With more unmarked graves and knowing more will be found in other residential schools, a time to listen and reflect.
Many radio stations are having survivors tell their stories and thoughts.
So no opinion but to listen.
But I must tell you it is not new history to me.
I studied Indian or as it is now called Indigenous History in High School and University.
We studied about native culture in Grade 7 and 8 Social Studies not just Canadian but all North America like the Aztecs in Mexico.
We can heal together.
My bookshelf is full of books over 50 years of history and art.
So new thinking but also been aware.
I have native art on my walls.
I always thought to buy the books, the art, the jewelry was one way to be inclusive and diverse.

What about you? What are you doing for reflection?

As most of you know I call my garden a jungle because it is.
In my front beds are about 12 milk weed plants.
I always have them to encourage the monarch butterflies.
I rarely see a butterfly actually in my milk weeds.
That is until yesterday. I saw one fluttering from plant to plant.
Yeah so maybe I will see more this summer.

It was a banner day. June 27 2021.
26700 vaccinations at Scotiabank Arena. A record for most vaccinations in one day in Canada, North America and perhaps the world.
Toronto you did it.
Team at Scotiabank you did it.
Everyone who turned out, you did it!!
Hope.
Optimism.
We are on the road to a new day.
For the second year due to covid, Pride events needed to be cancelled.
So virtual parade.
Eating at patio establishments..
Honouring the community subdued.
So here's to being aware of our LGBTQ community and all their needs.

They hope to give 25000 plus vaccines today in a mega campaign to roll the vaccination process along in Toronto.
A wonderful way to celebrate Canada and all its good.
The arena can hold thousands more. But the clinic runs over 12 hours so there will not be that many at the same time.
I love it.
Being double vaxxed there is a real freedom.
Yes I will follow all public health protocols for a long time.
Waiting for my younger grandchildren to be able to get vaccinated.
So here's to all providing the backup and care for this MEGA da.

It seems as soon as one wild flower completes its course and I pluck the dead plants from the beds, another one takes over the garden.
So a heavy rain last night, I am sure will bring another round of heavy weeding for me.
Now my tiger lillies are in bloom in my backyard jungle.
Lots of birds and butterflies are my companions.
