Hi there, how are you? I have been better. I am frustrated with a situation that feels out of my control. I am not sure what to do, and what my choices are. I am not sure how I got here, or where this will take me. Things have to get better, and some things have to change. Sorry to ramble, I just need to get it out. So... Lets look at another pretty vignette and enjoy a few simple things in life...

Lots, of Red, White, and Blue. This was a quick and easy change over, everything here has been used before on the Front porch. I just moved a few things around and changed out some of the plants. Except the New...
