Memorial day

 For most all of my life we, my family,  didn't do the parades or cemeteries.  Comes from my father memories from the Italian campaign I guess he would never say.  What I learned over the years and from reading up is he likely saw the elephant and friends lost.

What did we do, plant tree, bushes, vegetables, and general work on the property.

So for every year and especially for the last 41 I do the vegetable and flower gardens though the for last two years without the aid of my partner.  So I persist in memory of and plant what she would have planted.

One flower that goes in is poppies.

Its about history, memory, and doing something productive but not commercial.

Stay dry, keep your head down.

Eck!
