A RED, WHITE AND BLUE SUMMER...

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!
