Perfect for a little gardening, a little BBQing, a little bike riding- everything I love most about summer.<br /><br />I appreciate spring so much after the last two winters as well.Turiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694077473805539161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-64790202898640613362015-05-19T00:21:02.953-04:002015-05-19T00:21:02.953-04:00Yay, someone who's been living in their house ...Yay, someone who's been living in their house longer than us! (We've been here 22 years.)<br /><br />Thanks for explaining May 2-4. I'd seen some references on Fb from Canadian (and US refugee) friends, and didn't really get it. We have Queen's Birthday in another week (first Monday of June), but that's for the current Queen, not Queen Victoria! Funny how holidays become part of the culture.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-40290944605501129312015-05-19T00:13:08.768-04:002015-05-19T00:13:08.768-04:00It was a really nice long weekend, eh?

Hope I can keep them alive inside for a few weeks till I'm brave enough to plant them.

I feel like in the US, Memorial Day weekend is the summer kickoff, but we don't do fireworks so much for it.

Here in the US we have a similar long weekend for Memorial Day (always the last Monday in May). It is a holiday to honor fallen troops but I think that most celebrate it in similar fashion to how you described Canadians celebrating Victoria Day.BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-18186231581347532502015-05-18T17:25:51.972-04:002015-05-18T17:25:51.972-04:00Happy Victoria Day! 25 years is a long time -- co...Happy Victoria Day! 25 years is a long time -- congratulations.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-56978039243468706982015-05-18T17:22:43.944-04:002015-05-18T17:22:43.944-04:00As I'm sure you've heard we awoke to snow ...As I'm sure you've heard we awoke to snow here in the prairies.
