Day Of The Red Maple Leaf

Went to the Canada Day celebrations...at Granville Island...yesterday. There were
throngs of fellow human beings present...many sporting flags...tucked in their hair...
or caps...or wearing t-shirts...or sporting accessoties...with the red maple leaf. The sun for the nth day in a row was beating down...adding to the festive energy present. The heat finally pushed me homeward...feeling glad that I had mingled cheek by jowl...with fellow Canadians...and glad that my son and daughter are citizens of this country...............Quester.
