Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
Today, I will be sharing how I decorated the Front Porch and Yard for Memorial Day.....
But first, I want to share a few pictures of the Sky that I took the other evening when rain and thunder storms were popping up.....
We got about a half inch of rain after the storms....
Yesterday, was a nice cool day around 70 degrees.....
I took advantage of the nice day and decorated the front of the house for Memorial Day as more rain was predicted for Friday into Saturday and more rain predicted for Sunday.....
Memorial Day is a Remembrance of those in the Military that gave the Ultimate Sacrifice for this Country.......
I just planted the flowers in the front of our house last week so they really have not gotten much bigger......
I added 2 American flags to this pot.....
I changed the Summer wreath on the front door.....
I decided to freshen up this Patriotic wreath that I made a few years ago by adding some yellow flowers from my stash......
There is a metal star in the center.....
Hanging to the right side of the Front Door.....
I made the basket hanging below the light fixture....
In the corner of the Front Porch.....
I hung Patriotic banners from the railing.....
I added Patriotic Star stakes to these 2 pots.....
Patriotic mini flags......
A Patriotic Mail Box cover.....
The Park Bench.....
By just changing out a few things, I changed the look of the Front Porch from this....
To this.....
While taking pictures of the front, I caught this Robin waiting to fly into the nest inside the Rhododendron....
And this little chipmunk on the porch next door to me.....
With his mouth full.....
And a few Patriotic solar lights......
I decided to send Joe to Dollar Tree for a few more Patriotic decorations that I saw on their web site, using money I was gifted for Mother's Day....
Love these signs.....
And garden stakes......
And even though I told him to buy one of these, he bought 3......
I used 2 of them here.....
And used one of the garden stakes here......
A nice little throw......
I needed new rugs for the foyer area as the backing was disintegrating on the ones I had after this Winter....
Joe bought 2 of these at Big Lot's for Buy One, get One at Half Price and he had a $10 off $40 coupon.....
2 of them cost only $8.....
It supposedly was mailed out on Friday........
No hurry as I keep up my Patriotic decorations until after July 4th.....
In my next post, I will be sharing the flowers I planted in the back yard.....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

Your yard looks wonderful I have a number of 9x12 inch flags on poles I put along the borders of my front flower beds. We had terrific storms yesterday with high winds and inches of rain. All my flags were down this morning, but we put them back up with a rubber hammer. Along our lake, a festival was crushed with 20 foot waves and there was lots of damage. People had to be evacuated from resorts. Even Cedar Point amusement park closed. I have not heard anyone was hurt, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteOn September 9, 1999, a boy in his senior year of high school signed up to be a marine. He left that summer and by fall was stationed overseas. He was killed in action just months after graduating. I stood along the highway that lead to the cemetery that fall while his high school football teammates carried him to his resting place. I always remember and pray for Jason on Memorial Day now.
I enjoyed seeing your patriotic decorations! I don't have mine quite finished yet this year.... But here are some of what I have been working on.... https://www.jumprope.com/g/patriotic-inspirational-diy-projects-for-you-to-try/80sZHP2m
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of patriotic decor---2nd to Christmas, I suppose. Do you really just hang your outside decorations on the mortar? Nothing else to hold them there?..... Wow!
beautiful...so festive
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your decor is very festive and patriotic. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your Memorial Day!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I especially like the wreath. The pops of color from the yellow flowers really highlight the red, white, and blue of the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I bet your guests have fun studying every little detail. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, you have some amazing patriotic decor. I am happy to feature your lovely patriotic porch at Love Your Creativity. hugs
ReplyDeleteLove your festive front porch! It's a shame that many don't understand the difference between Memorial and Veteran's Day:(
