Today is Victoria Day, aka May Two-Four, or May Long if you live out West.
A Manitoba friend has pointed out that even if it feels like
every other day to retirees, May Long (or whatever you call it) is still the holiday that ushers in warmer weather and the
promise of summer.
Not a little thing if
you spend half the year digging through snowdrifts.
Her observation
reminded me that this year, I will have unlimited opportunity to enjoy the
summer. I will not be working and I will
not be on holidays since we probably won’t do much travelling until the end of
August. I can enjoy my yard and garden, sit on the deck in the evening in
balmy weather, stoke up the barbecue and walk into town for ice cream..... any day of the week.
So many
simple summer pleasures await, without even leaving town.
