Red, White and Blue


Decking the halls
in red, white and blue!!


DH hung the flag buntings under the windows. 
I love my little house, especially when she's dressed for the holidays.


Do you see my kitty cat at the door?
She meows when the flag waves in the breeze.


All this sunshine and rain is making the herbs happy!   

Do you have big plans for Independence Day?
It's really hot here, so look for us near the water.

  14. Oh I love the bunting at your windows!

    Fondant is kind of marshmallow-y, kind of dough-y and very sweet. Some people love it and some don't :)

  20. Oh, what a happy looking home! I ♥ your bunting beneath the windows, Gayle! I've always wanted to do that with the gazebo. Maybe I can pick some up on sale, next week.

    I do hope you didn't mind me "borrowing" your photo of all your pretty cozies. I honestly meant to get over here & ask your permission first but you came to visit before I had a chance. They looked so great, all together like that, I thought it might interest others in coming over to your blog.

    Hoping you have a safe & happy holiday!
    fondly,
    Rett
