The 4th on Tuesday 4
It's time again for Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4, and this week, our friend Susan suggested the topic of decorating our homes for the holidays, especially for the 4th of July, as it is the USA's 250th birthday. So, let's do that.
On July 4, 1776, we declared our independence from the British Empire and King George III when the First Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. We became a free and sovereign, independent nation on September 3, 1783.
1. Will you or have you decorated for the holiday? If you don't reside in the USA, do you have a special holiday you decorate for on the outside of your home? My flag flies every day. I did put some red, white, and blue artificial flowers in my front yard. Most of my holiday decorations are inside the house.
2. What special little touches do you add to the outside of your home? Do you enjoy puttering around in your yard? See above. No, I do not enjoy puttering in my yard. I don't care for yard work and am not a plant person at all. I appreciate beautiful yards and know how much work they take. It's just not my thing.
3. Are plants and shrubs an important part of your house decor? No. See above.
4. On which holidays do you spend time decorating either inside, outside, or both? I keep the patriotic things out for the summer, starting with Memorial Day, through Independence Day, and on to Labor Day. I put a more fall-like wreath on the door after that. I decorate for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter as well.
Peace and Hugs!!
Thanks for your visit today!!
America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
--by Katherine Lee Bates; (1859-1929)
