When I was in London last year, I saw some wonderful memorials ~ poppies included ~ for the Australians and New Zealanders who died in the wars. I often did "In Flanders Fields" with my students. I learned the poem by heart as a first grader in Canada. It is such a simple, yet powerful, reminder of what it must be to give one's life.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the info about what New Zealand is going to help Nepal. So tragic; but we live in a geologically active world and we can't prevent these things from happening. It's always the poorer countries that suffer because they can't afford to build earthquake resistant housing or reinforce the buildings they have. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing that lovely bit of rainbow fluff. Birds are incredible.<br /><br />Have a good weekend!

I couldn't agree more that it is wonderful that so many nations (including Canada) in the world automatically send aid/help to disaster zones like in Nepal right now. It is always encouraging to hear about this.<br /><br />What a beautifully coloured little bird!!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-22648023504481276852015-05-02T10:47:23.183+12:002015-05-02T10:47:23.183+12:00I think that's what happened to the Japanese t...I think that's what happened to the Japanese team too. The last I'd heard they had been rerouted to India also. I have friends who are missionaries in Nepal but they were on home leave. As a doctor I'm sure the husband wants to get there to help as quickly as possible but there will be years hence when Nepal still needs help. He will get there in God's time.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-77977242680818970102015-04-30T15:05:14.406+12:002015-04-30T15:05:14.406+12:00What a darling little birdie!!!
