"To fight aloud, is very brave--
But gallanter, I know,
Who charge within the bosom,
The Cavalry of Woe--
Who win, and nations do not see--
Who fall-- and none observe--
Whose dying eyes no Country
Regards with patriot love--
We trust, in plumed procession--
For such, the Angels go--
Rank after Rank, with even feet--
And Uniforms of Snow."
(-Emily Dickinson)
Happy Memorial Day weekend, all!

And the same to you, dear Sue! We're having wonderful weather, aren't we?
We've been out in the Garden, hope you are too. Enjoy!
Happy Memorial day to you as well, dear Sue.
Pretty planter...
Our equivalent of this would be Anzac Day.

Lovely poem, Sue--in the midst of boating and biking and barbequing, it's good to remember why and whom we're celebrating.
Hope you enjoyed yours, as well, dear friend!
I love your photos Sue!
You are a master at flower photos..
Always evocative...always a poet...
Thanks, all! Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.
