I want the brown bag with a black cat inside! (Not to eat, of course).
Nowadays I often take a salad, so it is in a washable container, not a bag.
We commemorate fallen military as well as those who survived (and are still living or died of something else) on the 11th of November, Remembrance Day (not picnic weather in Canada, though it probably is in the Southern Hemisphere). We had a long weekend this past weekend, known as Victoria Day, except in Québec where it is la Journée des patriotes (the Patriotes took part in a rebellion in 1837 that was strongest in Lower Canada (part of modern Québec) but also took place in Upper Canada (part of modern Ontario).
But it should be known as Gardening Day, as it is the traditional date at least in the more southerly parts of Ontario and Québec, when people flood gardening centres and other retailers selling flowers, herbs and vegetable sets.
KZ, not much local produce up here yet, though the weather is finally fair, so we should soon. The only local green vegetable I’ve bought so far is asparagus. So looking forward to some little green beans! But Livia is happy to go down into the garden and munch on some grass; we have planted “microclover”.
Mmm, chicken shawarma! Very popular here
Too bad the Statue of Liberty in NYC doesn’t have a CAT, as they are obviously symbols of freedom:

How cool would that have been!!!
