It’s a day for reflection, introspection, gratitude and maybe visiting a cemetery to honor a loved one. Perhaps he sacrificed his time, and served with the armed forces, or perhaps he made the ultimate sacrifice and gave his life in defense of our liberties. In either case, he deserves our respect. Memorial Day also involves picnics!
Day of the Dead involves honoring the dead as well, and picnics in cemeteries. Two different holidays, but both involve remembering those who have gone before us.
We thought about heading out on a picnic today but decided instead to barbecue. Oh! We saw a golden eagle on our hike today, but he flew off before I could get a picture. Hubby did get a picture of me coming up the hill known as Jalapeno Grande, or Hell Hill, depending upon your perspective. I had stopped to look at the eagle. I’d post it, but my dang phone won’t send it anywhere!
