Celebration of Life in Deseronto

This is a continuation of our daytrip to Belleville. I have much news about our ladyslippers blooming in our forest, as well as Annabelle's new tree-climbing skills, but first we'll finish our trip. I know hubby is anxious to see all of the photos!

We came back through Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, through Deseronto.

We passed several homes with half-mast flags in Mohawk Territory. I could feel the grief. I always want to research when I see evidence of a death in a community. It s my way of honouring a life.

You can tell how much grief there is in the region. The cars lined the streets, and there were hundreds of people around. How sad to lose two young men to a boating incident. Play safely out there, people, somebody loves you.
