Those absolutely can not be real flowers. It was 30 degrees F and snowing.
However, I liked the way the wind was blowing the flag and the All American
look of the scene. A white clapboard house, screened in porch, window box
and the flag flying. Made me want to stop and come to attention.
Seriously, I liked the scene.

We had an exchange student from France stay with us a few years ago when we
had kids in high school. I remember one of her first impressions was how
many places she saw the American flag flying. Infront of schools, churches,
business, and homes. That seemed to have left an impresion on her.
By the way, one of the loveliest, most wonderful young woman anyone could
have ever imagined hosting. She sure represented France well.
