Fourth of July Decorating

All of the decorating in this post is outside in my yard and garden.
This first picture isn't anything for the 4th really, but I did want to show it. :) It's a mandevilla vine and trellis that I planted last week. It's on my front porch.


And hanging right above it next to my front door is this American flag metal sign that I got last week. I still find it hard to believe that the 4th of July is just a couple weeks away!

Oh and by the way, I paid $.50 -- yes, that is fifty cents -- for this flag!! It had a $9.99 tag on it; I was actually taking it to the register to see if it was on sale because some other Americana items were, and when I got there, it rang up for $.50!!

Remember my begonias in my monogrammed pot? I stuck a cute little American flag in there.

And I put one more small decoration out but totally forgot to take a picture... so hopefully I can do that tomorrow!

Some parties I will be linking to this week:
