EPISODE 80: CANADA DAY 2020: CREATED BY LUCK OR GOOD SENSE?
HAPPY CANADA DAY
We are a lucky bunch…we Canadians. Some would say that I think. Just sampling conditions
around the world in this global Pandemic underscores our good fortune.
Even cocooned in isolation Marjorie and I feel positive.
So here is a picture of our front yard. All the work done by Marjorie except for the cobblestone
walkway to the front door. Remember A.Y. Jackson’s Group of Seven painting titled ‘The Tangled Garden’?
Well the play of light and shadow, of red and white, of yellow and gold, of shades of green in our garden puts the Jackson
painting in my mind.
When Marjorie showed me this photograph I did not recognize our own front yard I had taken
it all for granted. Taken for granted…as we often take our country for granted.
