Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

  Today is Memorial Day in the US of A.......In the northern zones it is the day that you typically plant your annuals whether flowers or vegetables......that was always the first task on the day when I was a kid, then in High School we would march in local Memorial Day Parades....sometimes as many as 3.....with respect paid to the fallen veterans in the town's cemetery...w/ the traditional playing of Taps w/the "echo"......and then to the annual memorial day party/picnic held by my church's youth group.....a very busy day ( traditionally Memorial Day was always the 30th of May.....but was moved in the 1970s to a Monday to form a 3 day weekend.....)
  Took a short walk this AM.......besides that has been a very quiet day.....
