Flag Day and Sketch from the Porch

Today is Flag Day, always special for me.  We put out the flag and I just went to bring it in as we are getting a lovely hard rain!!

Our Flag

This song by Johnny Cash is a favorite on this day:

The Ragged Old Flag.... on YouTube

Thanks again to all who sacrifice for our freedom...... 


I sketched on my iPad for the Hunt.
