Hi Everybody. It has been a perfect Canada Day Long Weekend so far. Today I volunteered with some of my fellow Horticulture Society members at the Sharon Temple, a historic site in Sharon, Ontario. We were over by the Doane House in the herb garden answering any questions about the herbs that the early settlers here would have used in their gardens. There were actors in costume portraying the people that would have been here in this site back in the 1800s. There were games and puppet shows and lots of exhibits and my favourite part of the day…birthday cake.
To all my Canadian friends Happy Canada Day and for my American friends Happy 4th of July.
I am joining Mary for Mosaic Monday. Have a great week.

Happy Canada day! It sounds like you had a wonderful day. The quilt in the mosaic is gorgeous!
Having trouble commenting for whatever reason...could be me!
This sounds like a great way to spend Canada Day...an interesting way. You could give me a lesson on herbs and the early settlers any day. I love history lessons.
What a great way to celebrate Canada Day!
Hi Val
Sounds like a fun way to participate in a community event.
Happy Canada Day.

Happy Canada Day! and thankyou for the images from "stepping back in time"
Have a wonderful week!
Like others, I think that this would have been a great way to spend the day! I did some volunteering too, at a seniors' residence, and it gave me time to be thankful to be living in this country.
I love your mosaic (and your header), and what a wonderful way to share in the holiday weekend! Enjoy today!
What a lovely way to spend the day.
Looks like a great way to spend the day. We started at a pancake breakfast at the arts centre which is in the old train station in town, swam at Long Point and then fireworks in the park near our house. There was a re-enactment of the war of 1812, but we missed it.
Happy Canada Day!!
It was a wonderful day. Fabulous mosaic Val. Enjoy the rest of the weekend:)
Happy Canada Day! I love your country...we are both very blessed♥
Happy Canada Day!! It sounds like an AWESOME time! I love events like this. I would love to hear more about those herbs...
Have a lovely day,

Lovely mosaic and that quilt is beautiful.
Hi Valerie,
What a charming mosaic! I love to visit historic sites like that. We have a community in our town that has been historically restored and operates as a living museum. It dates back to the 1700's (Pre-Revolutionary War for us). It's a fun place to visit and take photos.
Happy Belated Canada Day to you! Thanks so much for your visit to my blog and your kind comments. Hope you have a great week.
