Happy Independence Day!
It’s been a wet, rainy week in New Hampshire. But on sunnier days, I’ve been snapping pictures of the fabulous 4th of July decorations in a neighboring town. That town’s parade is very popular with politicians running for office, due to its lovely backdrop of flag bedecked colonial homes providing a great photo opp. So I thought I’d share a few of my favorites with you! Enjoy!
Due to approaching Hurricane Arthur, outdoor dining on the deck was not possible today. But I did manage to scamper out and gather some flowers before the rain started this morning. If we couldn’t eat outside, at least we could look festive inside!
Although I usually keep the vintage Bakelite silverware for picnic use, it dawned on me that it is the perfect silverware for the 4th of July too!
Got to love a man who will cheerfully grill in the pouring rain!
