Spot the Differences?

What a difference a couple of weeks can make!

Here's a picture of the front of the house, taken a few weeks ago...

 And another taken last week... can you spot the differences?

There are a couple that should be easy, since we've already posted about them...
1- Fence is now green.  See how well it blends on the left side?  It also helps that the bushes now have their leaves.
2- Mailbox post is also green.  Minor, but looks much cleaner now.

The next few we hadn't mentioned yet...
3- The azaleas in front are now blooming (we can't take any credit for that one!
Just want to say "Yay, Spring!")
4- The Flag!

This is a 13-star flag, which would have flown at our house in it's early years!
(The house was built in either 1760 or 1790, we're still researching that!)

On June 14th, 1777, this design became the first official US Flag. It remained the official flag until 1795, when the 15 star flag was adopted (after Vermont & Kentucky became states).

My parents gave it to us as an anniversary gift this year.

  1. I'm totally impressed with how well the green fence blends in now! Looking good! I know how much time and energy sprucing up the outside of a home takes! Good work!
