Red, White & Blue (and orange and yellow and purple, too)

Thought I'd show some of our 4th of July decor. But I don't have a whole lot of decor so there wasn't going to be a lot to show. Then when spending time outdoors watering, I realized that the outside was awash in color. June is the most colorful month in our landscaping. Some of the flowers stop blooming after June (or thereabouts) but during June, everything is in bloom. Too pretty not to appreciate and document!

Red, White & Blue

This table runner is comprised of two pieces. Each piece is super short- not sure what table for which it could be a runner. I have the ends of both pieces under the tray so it's not obvious that they are two pieces. I bought them at Kohl's last year and like how festive (albeit pint sized) the runners are. Last year at this time, we had a black kitchen table. I really like how the colors pop against the white of this table.

There's a lot going on here but that's ok by me 😉

I found these salt & pepper shakers at a flea market earlier this year for $5- they were too cute to pass up and bonus they're small (really trying to not buy a lot of space consuming things)

Awww, you tell them Ronnie! Covid lockdowns and the attempt to force people to abdicate my body my choice with regard to the "vaccine" revealed how fragile our freedom is. 

We had this record in my house when I was little. I love it- it is a recording of the Liberty Bell tolling. 

Abby's robe is red so it's fair game for the patriotic tableau

This poor tree- it's at the mercy of my decorating whims!!

My aunt got this commemorative plate when she and her choir performed at one of the inauguration ceremonies for George W. Bush

Outside...

I bought this from a new friend who's an artist... I wanted to support her business and I love the painting.

I don't always achieve "only buy small things" unfortunately

Orange and yellow and purple, too

Gotta love a daylily...

Invasive, but make them (fairly) pretty- this spiderwort is everywhere! It's easy to spot new growth and pull the small plants before they grow anymore.

Sunshine in a flower!🌞

The alyssums spread like crazy, too. I keep finding them in new spots!

That's not all of the flowers but most of them. The grass is still so green- not sure how much longer that will last without rain. For now though, everything looks really good; when I am outside, I really try to appreciate the beauty.
