All dressed up
for the
4th!!
Bristol, Rhode island has one of the biggest and most famous 4th of July parades in the nation. It is always featured on news across the country as well as CNN and FOX.
Yesterday my friend and I caught a glimpse of just a few houses that were dressed up along the parade route.
I love the one with "Betsy Ross" and camouflage guy on the porch!!
The top photo is an example of understated, yet lovely touches.
The little blue house has flags all along the wonderful stone wall, a typical New England sighting . There's an art to those walls.
I won't be attending the parade. You have to claim your spots by 4 A.M. or you get shut out! Like you, I'll watch it on the news ;)
Have a safe and happy 4th of July my friends!

~wish our neighborhood had some holiday spirit...thanks for sharing...wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend...brightest blessings~
ReplyDeleteOur parade for Canada Day was on July 1st. And now it is Stampede weekend, with another parade today!
ReplyDeleteThe Williams Lake Stampede is famous all over the world as well. Similar to the Calgary stampede, only smaller, it has numerous events, entertainment and enough excitement to last till next year! It is a huge rodeo, in case it is not as famous as I thought, haha!!
I love the way Americans decorate their homes for July 4th. My favourite is the first one...very understated, although the second one I'm more likely to have seen on tv.
Have a very happy 4th of July!!!
Lovely - how patriotic! Happy weekend!x
ReplyDeleteI think I am with you as far as the viewing goes. Happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteLove the views. So patriotic!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th also. :)
ReplyDeleteGood idea not to attend! I never want to fight big crowds! Hey, I will look for it on FOX or CNN though...that will be fun!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love these houses all decked out, BTW! Especially the yellow one, as my house is yellow, but not quite that bright (although I like it bright, and toned down with the trim color)!
ReplyDeleteYou are wise to stay home, curl up with Brian and the Furry Ones, have a glass of wine and watch it on tv!
ReplyDeleteIt's sweet though to look at all the effort tht went in to decorating those houses! We just don't see any of that here...
A clear day forecasted for tomorrow..which means I will be able to see the fireworks over the Bay from my roof...
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
Happy 4th to you too. I have to tell ya, I am not a big fan, the fireworks scare my animal boys and my neighbors will be firing them off for at least two weeks. Everything is all about the happiness of my boys :-).

ReplyDeleteyou've just nudged me into the spirit of the holiday. here's to freedom, my beloved p.p. friend.
ReplyDeletenext year i just might invite you and brian for a backyard cookout. will you come? :)

My parade will be back and forth from studio to fridge! :D
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm honest!
I hated that the Boston Symphony is no longer broadcast on the 4th---that was a tradition with us, always watching and those amazing fireworks during the William Tell Overture! *sigh* (I loved the cannon part!)
XXOO!!
