We just had Victoria Day here in Canada. Although for most people it's all about celebrating the unofficial start of summer than honoring her memory.

But this spring has been cold and wet, and so was Victoria Day. Sunday was nice, though.

She was a cat lover of German ancestry-two things she shared in common with me.
