Victoria Day is celebrated in Canada in honor of Queen Victoria's birthday and it was declared as a Canadian holiday by the Government in 1845. The Queen's birthday is actually May 24, but the holiday is celebrated on the 3rd Monday of May. And since today is the 21 of the month, for some it is the sign of the beginning of summer. Although it is still a month for summer to really kick off, others take advantage of this long weekend to go on a short trip somewhere maybe adding an extra day before and after this weekend. Some of our friends have already taken their trailer, RV or camper to take advantage of the warm weather of May. Some smaller cities have organized outdoor activities to celebrate this day. For us, we have chores inside our home that needs to be finished as well as some weeding in the garden for Jeff. It has rained for a couple of days and so outdoor chores have been postponed. While I stay inside to do the chores, I have some sewing project that needs to be completed before the end of the month. Whatever you plan to do this long weekend, have fun, safe travels and enjoy the time off.
