It’s always a dilemma as to exactly when to put up the 4th of July decorations.
Do you put them up in June–for a month?
Do you put them up in July– for a week?
I found a happy medium.
I put them up the last week of June…
and leave them up…
till July 25th–after Pioneer Day. Feels perfectly patriotic to me.
Happy Independence Day!!
Ohhhhh my goodness…did I ever love this one!!
Yessss, it had letters on the back that just encouraged me to be a big cheater.
But July is coming up fast so that became my excuse…
to not dilly-dally around.
Come on…
admit it.
Isn’t this the coolest 4th of July puzzle you’ve ever SEEN?!
So, we had this nasty patch on the side of the driveway that didn’t grow anything but weeds and ugly stuff and was just creepy and embarrassing.
Till one day, my cute boy came over and tilled it all up…
and dug a big, deep hole, and filled it with cement…
for the new flagpole that Rhen gave me for Christmas!!
Christmas AND Mother’s Day all at the same time! WAHOOOO!
They even hand printed it for me!
Awwwww…I LOVE it!
Thanks boys!! You’re making one of my dreams come true.
It seemed only fitting that my most patriotic son should be the one…
to hang our big, beautiful flag.
I love that it is on the side where the business parking light is. It will shine on our flag all night long.
But the best part…
is the view from my kitchen window.
Love. Love. Love.
And that, my friends, is a true story.
