canada day

here's where i live . . . well this is the map of it. for those who visit from space, this is what you'd see first . . .
then you'd see something like this - which is looking right down on the golden fish world headquarters . . . the lake to the right of the image is lake ontario. it's 193 miles long and 53 miles wide. next year i plan on riding around it as part of a fundraising team called africycle. closer still and you'd see peterborough . . . my home is off the photograph to the left but look and you see lakes, rivers, trees . . . that's what this region was and is made of . . . .

this is all leading to the fact that it's a national holiday here. july first is canada day. hurrayyyyy!!!! a day to remember where we live and how we love it and most especially that we're grateful for being canadian.

the day begins with a sky trying to decide if it's going to be made of puffy, billowy clouds or fuzzy grey-scale clouds . . .

i think a decision might have been made . . .

then again, it's hard to tell . . .

better check with the plants . . . they're tucked away nice and snug . . . .

hmmm . . . maybe i'd better start thinking about heading downtown to the canada day parade here in my little hometown of peterborough.
