….in most of Canada we’re celebrating Family Day on Monday
What a wonderful way to start a long weekend with a 6k walk. The weather was perfect. Sunny and mild. A great day to take photographs. Here are a few shots that I took this morning.

What a lovely holiday. I’ve always had an affection for Canada. NOW more than ever.

I can’t say enough about my home. I was born in Germany but have lived in Canada since I was 2 years old. Family Day is a relatively new holiday but already it holds special memories for me. Two years ago on Family Day our youngest daughter announced that she was pregnant. Our first grandchild would arrive later that year in October.

Nice to have a long week-end. Enjoy! It’s mild here in Sudbury also. Feels like spring with everything melting today, but I know it’s a teaser. Winter will come back for a bit. 🙂

Winter is definitely not over. She’ll have at least one more snowy surprise for us in the next month. We just need to enjoy this sunny weather while it’s here.

It’s not that warm here but I did take off my coat for the last part of the walk because I was getting too warm. Enjoy!

We’re celebrating Presidents Day tomorrow in the U.S. but I’d much rather celebrate Family Day with you, Carol.

When the government was trying to establish a new holiday about 10 years ago they bantered around numerous names for the day. I remember Flag Day came up and I think some provinces call the day Heritage Day. I love Family Day because we all come from some kind of family and sometimes our friends become our family. It’s a great excuse to get together and spend the day with loved ones.

Having a family day is an interesting concept. I wonder, though, if it causes unhappiness amongst those who, for whatever reason, don’t have a family around them to celebrate, and whether it makes some people feel even more lonely than otherwise. Many people here have families who have left in search of work and opportunities, there are those whose families have thrown them out, those who are the last remaining members of their family. Hopefully such people won’t be forgotten.

Those who don’t have family tend to consider their friends as family. For many, even those with family, are just happy to have a day off.

I love it. Sadly I have a lot of work to do indoors today but I hope I can get out for a bit of a walk today.
