Unfurled Old Glory

Found an old flag pole/rod in the basement of this parsonage (oh, the things to be found in basements, attics, and garages of parsonages...that's a whole nother blog post!) and the front porch already had a sturdy flag pole bracket mounted, so we replaced the little pirate flag with this beauty.

So far we've remembered to bring the flag in at dark and put the flag out in the morning. We hope for continued success with day number two. [grin]

Following the U.S. Flag Code has me breaking out in hives. I'm afraid to break a rule! The American flag requires more care and attention than my pet hamster! It's pretty, and worth the care and attention, though..... (yes, both the flag and the hamster).

Our Porch

Look for the one with the little pirate flag. Turns out to be *nothing* compared to the Halloween decorations around here!

These fantastic Halloween decorations at a house nearby are no match for the little pirate flag. This house is just a sample of the spooktacular (yes, yes....I just did that) Halloween fun to be had here!
