The Canadian Flag Rocks!

Show that you are proud to be Canadian by making your own Canada flag.
You need 3 flat stones all about the same dimensions.
Paint two of them red and one white.
In the middle of the red one paint a red maple leaf.
When dry, find a spot in your garden to display your flag.
Your flag size is only limited by the size of the stones you use.
How about using three patio stones? or a lot of little ones.
The kids and grandkids will have a great time creating their own flags.
