Field of Honor

Today is the start of the Memorial Day weekend. It was also the day that our town put together what is called a Field of Honor. You may be asking what the hell is a field of honor? Well it is a field of flags that are bought by people to honor the people in there lives that served in the armed forces. Well in RW tonight there were over 300 flags dedicated. It was a very cool ceremony and it was just a cool thing in general.


Here are some photos from tonight.







Tomorrow we start re-doing our flower beds. We are getting all our flowers and hostas from BOO BOO and Daddy-O. We were looking at buying all our flowers and such from a nursery and we were dreading the bill on what this was going to cost us. Fortunately for us, the in laws are getting a new driveway and need to tear up a flower bed that is in the way. This equals lots of flowers and hostas for us.

I hope to take some before pics and then some during and after pics as well. Maybe, if I work hard, we will have a transformed front yard!!

Till Tomorrow.

Hope you all have a nice night celebrating. Plants cost so much. We went to the garden centre today and came out £150 lighter!
