Spring is all about flowers and everything that blooms!

Memorial Day Poppies

 

Keep an eye out today this weekend for veteran's selling Poppies - these are made each year by veterans and all proceeds go to help veterans.  

IN FLANDER'S FIELD

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie,
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw,
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us, who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders Fields
