Giving thanks was a big part of today's Remembrance Day Assembly at school. The students in my class helped sell poppies, bear the flags, lay the wreaths, do the music and cue the digital stories. It is so important to help students understand the symbolism and history of the day. One fifth of our population has a parent(s) who serve in the Armed Forces be it Army, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard. The students take great pride in being part of the ritual. I take great pride in them for doing such a respectful job.

Day 157 - Poppy, before and after
Poppies are one of my favourite flowers. We have some in our garden and they're beginning to bloom. I ventured out into the rain, umbrella in hand of course, and snapped a few shots. I decided to post 2 of them. The first shows the poppy about to 'pop' out and the second is one that's just finished opening. I like the effect of the raindrops on the flowers. I'm hoping to plant some more this summer, white and red.
