I was tagged by sweet Kate over at Our Red House to participate in a MEME to take a photos of our views from our back and front doors. Ahem...share with the world our views, but honestly, looking out my back door is not so pretty these days as we recently had some horribly windy days and my garden is looking quite wind-whipped in the back.
My dear sweet husband has been tending to our front yard and this is the view of our front from our front door. Little flags are out for Memorial Day for a little touch of American spirit. As a military mother, my heart strings pull tightly on this day - as well as July 4th, however not a day goes by without thinking of our troops and to those who have given so unselfishly of themselves to serve our wonderful Country. I am so very, very proud of our son for his sacrifices, his bravery and his spirit. He told me this when he enlisted..."Mom, I need to serve our Country and to help others." I get tears in my eyes when I think about those words and miss him each and every day.
For all of the families who have loved ones in our military - be it friends or family - God Bless you. A gigantic THANK YOU and God Bless to all of you who are giving of yourselves to fight for our Freedom and to serve this Big Red, White and Blue!!!
((Hugs))

Your front porch looks so inviting! I will pray for your son. How brave these mem are!!! I was wanting to ask you ( if you don't mind ) do you know why Silver Bell cottage blog is gone. I hope she is okay. I always liked her blog but did not comment much. I guess bloggers come and go,but its kinda sad.
God Bless you and your family,

I love your outlook, and your porch is so colourful and inviting. It is getting so bleak here now; your spring is much nicer! I can almost feel that sunshine.

I know you are proud of your son Becky. He is a fine young man for what he is doing. I pray for his safe return soon and that of my niece's DH although his time is just starting.
Your view out the front door is so serene and beautiful. Enjoy your corner of the earth.

Hi Becky! I love your front door view. Tell your husband he's doing a wonderful job with the yard. I pray for our service men and women daily. These brave men and women (and their families) make so many sacrifices for our freedom.

Thank you Becky for your son's service. I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend. We had a wet, rainy weekend here. I guess you got the same windstorms too. I barely have any flowers left.
Lovely post, lovely view, great son. All the best to you and yours...Pam
Hope you had a lovely weekend.

A big thanks to him!!!
He will be in my prayers.

Being military is not easy bit it is rewarding. It is tough for a mother though isn't it? But I know you are so proud...so very proud.

I met my husband when he was in the Marines (he served for 22 years), so the military was also my first "family"...!! I hold every service person (and their family members) very dear to my heart!! Love your front porch!!

The view from my front door is much more appealing than the view from my back as well! Very nice!
