The porch is decorated and ready to go!!!



Our middle daughter was inducted into National Honor Society on her college campus last weekend. This is a picture of her with her sisters!! We are so proud of her. She is actually a high school senior but has been taking college classes all year. She had an ear infection and a sinus infection that day so she was a trooper to just smile and make the best of it.

This morning I decided to take some time and decorate the front porch for summer. With Memorial day so close I decided to use a red, white and blue theme this year...I painted the floor a few days ago and some of the trim to give it a crisp clean feel. Now it will be done for our graduation party that is fast approaching.
I used everything that I had on hand...I may add a few geraniums to the mix but otherwise I think it is complete...what do you think?
Very hot here today...I decided against working outside this afternoon...I have a meeting and a softball game so I guess I am taking the afternoon off!!!
Have a safe weekend. Blessings!

Looks great! Love all the flags and quilts. Can't leave those out too long, or the sun will fade them :(.
Congrats to your daughter.

Beautiful porch! I'd just love to curl up on that swing with my knitting...

Many congratulations to your daughter - and hope she feels better soon. I had a sinus/ear infection a couple months ago...SO painful!!!
