Life handed me actual lemons this week. 
What else to do except make lemonade?

You may remember when I showed you pictures of the house (under construction) that I had this large blank wall next to my front walkway.
I thought it would be nice to have that wall softened and covered with lovely vines and sweet smelling flowers. You may have noticed the wreaths in my Patriotic Porch post last week. Believe it or not I made them out of those little styrofoam swim noodles from the dollar store.  Fourth of July noodle wreaths
 patriotic burlap wreath My thought process was to have a seasonably interchangeable wreath that was not too expensive to change out. I also needed something that wasn’t too heavy against the glass of the front doors. This super easy recipe is from our friend David. He has a very successful real estate company in the Atlanta area and is a kind and generous soul.
There are only four ingredients in this easy recipe. In the theme of all things Fourth of July this week, I thought I’d share my patriotic porch decorations with you.
I always loved the Fourth of July as a kid. We used to spend every summer with my grandparents. They had a very rustic cottage on the Potomac River in the Northern Neck area of Virginia. We always had SO MUCH FUN! We played in and on the river, went on tractor rides, caught lightning bugs, and got our fill of fresh seafood and Memaw’s fried chicken. The Fourth at River House, that’s what we called the place, would usually include: piles of extended family and friends, a crab feast (with blue crabs – of course), fresh corn on the cob, water skiing, and fireworks once the sun went down. So many happy memories. |
