Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
I want to Thank Andrea, over at The Cottage Market, for choosing my post, Celebrating Mother's Day, Gifts and Life Goes On, as one of her features from last week's A Morning Cup of Joe Link Party!!
Thanks so much, Andrea!!
Please stop by and link up to this wonderful party!!
We will be honoring those that made the ultimate sacrifice for our Country on Tuesday with our traditional family Cook In...
I choose not to say we are celebrating the Holiday as it is not a "celebration" but a Remembrance of those who never came home after serving our Country....
July 4th is a Celebration.....
Memorial Day should not be one....
We finally had a break in the rain showers that seemed to be stuck over our area for the last few days and the Sun came out and it actually hit 60 degrees...
At least we will be out of the 50's for high temps in the upcoming days......
I took advantage of that break in the rain to quickly decorate my Front Porch for Memorial Day weekend.....
You may remember that I recently shared how I decorated the Front Porch for the Early Spring/Late Summer....
I simply switched out a few things for some Patriotic decor....
I have had these signs for several years now.....
Sorry about the pole for my porch flag and the broom in the corner but I have nowhere else to put them.....
All I can say is that I live here....
I did not put out my Patriotic porch flag as it has been just too windy to do so....
I made this 2 years ago out of a star bought from the Amish Farmer who sets up in the Mall parking lot down the road from me every Friday....
Truth be told is that I could not find it down my storage shed last year until I got out my outdoor Fall decor...
Hung a metal wreath on the post and changed out the mail box cover for a Patriotic one.....
I also changed out the bee sign here.....
Amazing how just changing out a few things can change the whole look.....
The flower bed under the Living Room window....
And I simply added flags to the pots in this flower bed...
And a smaller one to one of the pots on the retaining wall....
The flower bed on top of the slope that is in front of my row of townhouses.....
I changed out the mini flags in this flower bed for Patriotic ones.....
My park bench....
You can see with all the rain we have been getting that I need to cut back the forsythia....
One more Patriotic mini flag....
I will be hosting my traditional Memorial Day Cook In for my family on Tuesday evening as my son and DIL work every weekend and every Holiday that Target is open....
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

Hi Deb, your front porch looks very festive! I need to get my patriotic decor box out today and do a little decorating. I will leave it all up now til after Labor Day, then Fall decor comes bursting out!
ReplyDeleteNo plans here, maybe out to eat one of the days, that's it.

Your Memorial Day decor is lovely, Deb. I hope you have a great dinner with your family this week and a sunny weekend. Lots of rain here, too. I'm hoping for some breaks. If not, I'll be inside watching TCM's tribute war movies. xo
ReplyDeleteI see you are all ready for Memorial Day and th summer season, Deb. I love that sign- a morning cup of Joe-thayou's just perfect for you. I am finally getting up and about a bit and worked on our front courtyard yesterday. Sure feels good! Happy Memorial Day weekend- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is your front door wreath. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteAs always, It's lovely. Happy Memorial Weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat rhododendron is spectacular!! What enormous blooms. What a gift to you this spring!!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your Memorial Day red, white and blue. Will you keep these patriotic decorations up through the 4th of July or take it down and put it back up? I usually do a cactus theme for my summer decorating and then break out the patriotic stuff a few weeks into June. Can't believe we are looking at June right around the corner.
You've inspired me to make a patriotic wreath fro the front door. Really like the way yours incorporates some yellow. Makes it so cheerful. I think I will make mine with pieces of fabric tied around a metal ring. Fingers crossed, it will be as nice as yours.
What a fabulously patriotic front porch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us, I'm featuring you this week when the next To Grandma's House we go link party starts!
ReplyDeleteLove the decorations! Wow! They are so beautiful and the rhododendron is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI picked this as one of my highlights for the Weekend Traffic Jam this week.
