We are starting, today,
 with the letter "P".
This is a Picture.
This is a Porch.
This is Primer on the Porch.
Just so you don't think 
that I am so delusional 
that I would believe that
 this is Pretty.
 I know it's not Perfect, 
but you have to agree, 
from this Point on - 
the Potential Possibilities 
are Probably Pointless!
 And, also,
 just to show you that
 we are making
 Progress!
The beginning of summer 
always starts for me
with Memorial Day.
 I plan for it every year.
  There is something 
about the colors of our flag 
that gets my juices flowing.
 This year, however,
 because of working on the "P", 
things have been slow 
getting started.
We are hoping 
that we will have
 this Project done for, 
at the very least, 
Flag Day, 
but certainly before the 
4th of July. 
 After that, 
my plan is to carry 
the patriotic theme, 
inside and out, 
throughout the summer.
I am showing 
some small ideas 
that may or may not show up, 
in and out, 
of the Cottage 
over the summer.
I do know, however, 
that along with 
the red, white and blue,
 there will be pops of yellow, 
even to the extent of
 California orange. 
 To me
 they are all colors 
that compliment
 each other.
Along with the
 stars and stripes of Old Glory 
there will be another 
Grand Illumination 
and lots of little details 
that will be fun to see.
This is going to be 
a great summer.
  One that we are going to 
take full 
advantage of.
Usually, 
the red, white and blue 
comes out for Memorial Day, 
and is put away 
after the 4th of July.
  This year will be different.
 It is time 
for the Cottage 
to stand up and 
be proud...
...now is the time 
for the USA 
to get a 
little TLC!
