I have missed so many great linky party’s this week but didn’t want to miss the one for the The Vintage Patriotic Party at Common Ground and other ones too! I have a little bit of time here today so I’m doing this post earlier than I usually do. This area is so far from the house that I hope I remember to water the flowers in the vintage planter which I found at a yardsale, it’s made out of pressed tin and was so rusty, I actually sprayed it with flat white paint a little because it was getting just to rusty looking for me:) The birdhouse I bought years ago, it seems anyway, so I gave a one coat of flat white paint and put both the planter and the birdhouse on tree stumps…thank you Mr. Ice storm for providing the stumps!
I know it’s not alot but it’s all I can manage right now…hey, I did get my front door painted and the ugly, out of date storm door taken off, I’ve been trying to get the Mr. to do this since I moved in here. I wonder what it is when you throw a big party everything that you have wanted to do with your house gets done all at once it seems.LOL I’ll be showing pictures soon of it and other things I’ve been up to, I’ve been a painting fool I tell ya!
A further look away! Can you see all the pine needles on the ground? I guess they are a blessing it’s just that sometimes I wish they would just go away!
A little straighter picture below.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and has a great 4th of July, we live in a great country, land of the FREE! We have to remember that always…traveling I’ve often stood and just marveled at the beauty of the country I’m in but then I remember that they don’t have what we Americans have… Freedom of choice and I feel so thankful that
God decided he wanted me to be born an American!
I’m joining these great party’s, thank you ladies for hosting even though you are so busy too!

Hi Rondel! Thanks for popping by my blog and leaving your encouragement. :) I wanted to tell you, I have the exact same corner piece as you do in your header photo! Mine is painted a blue base and white washed. I've been thinking of painting it out solid white and distressing it. Seeing yours just convinced me to paint it out! I'll post ya a pic soon of a before and after! Thanks for the inspiration and Happy 4th to you! :)
Love the red, white and blue!!
