Long May She Wave and Playing with Waterlogue


We've started celebrating with red, white and blue. My table is set with Long May She Wave, a graphic history of the American Flag and an American Flag Collection shared by Kit Hinrichs. Once a year, I bring out this book and look at every page.



We love Old Glory,  and this excellent coffee table book with flag-related memorabilia.  While I was setting up this patriotic display on the table, our son Nick popped in for a visit and admired it.  I was surprised he even noticed ;-)

"The American flag is but a piece of cloth decorated with stars and stripes, yet people have loved it, hated it, sworn allegiance to it, fought for it, and died for it".

I played with the Waterlogue App in my garden one evening. 

I tucked in a few flags here and there.

 The flag pillows are my Pottery Barn knock offs that I made last year.





We have our dinner outdoors each night that it doesn't rain. My mom joins us every Tuesday and we will still be talking about these wonderful evenings in the winter :-)


When I took this photo of my hanging geranium, I discovered that a sweet Junco built a nest in it and there are eggs. It's tricky watering the plant now, but we look forward to having young ones in the backyard.


Thanks for stopping by! Summer is almost here! I hope you all have plans.
