It's Not Too Early To Wave the Flags!

If I want to find some terrific old and new flags, I head down Hwy. 208 to Harpersville to visit my friend Barbara Adkins at Black Sheep Antiques. She carries a wonderful collection of vintage flags and her shop is always decked out year round.

You're A Grand Ole Flag!

This Americana vignette was too good to pass up for the Fourth of July.  Barbara Adkins' Black Sheep Antiques in Harpersville always had vintage flags.

Memorial Day

Fittingly, these high flying flags were waving just outside the VA Hospital.

Memorial Day - Alabama's National Cemetery

Alabama's National Cemetery, just south of Birmingham in Montevallo,  was begun in 2009.  For this Memorial Day 2,100 flags were placed here by volunteers. A beautiful resting place for our veterans.

A Flag Waving Day!

Americans have exercised their right to vote and gone to the polls and let their voices be heard!

“I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them, 1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy: 2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against: And, 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.” -John Wesley, 1774

Flags

Yesterday I shared that I had my 4th of July photo already selected, then I attended the patriotic program at the Children's Fresh Air Farm on Tuesday and that photo took first place. Today I share the flags that wave each and every day at the Veteran's Hospital on University Boulevard. They are a welcoming sight for the patients and those of us that pass by .

Let's Get a Start on the Flag Waving!

It's almost Memorial Day!
