Parade and Roses~Mosaic Monday


Our town had a parade yesterday morning replete with a bounce house on the lawn, Highlanders marching playing the bagpipes, vintage cars, and cotton candy for sale. The timing was just right because thunderstorms blew in by afternoon and stayed all night.  I rescued my three little roses freshly bloomed and now they bloom on my kitchen windowsill. Just a few little scenes from the parade with the roses tucked in. 

Check in with Mary at Little Red House for more mosaics. It's always fun!

Have a great week...

  2. Sigh, I'm dying to go to a small town parade. And your mosaic is lovely, the roses are such a nice touch or frame to the mosaic.

  4. Your roses are lovely. I always like to put them in a little bud vase in my window. Looks like fun in your town. We are getting the heavier rains and wind now! EEEE! Hope that's all we get!

  14. You put together a very pretty mosaic, Vee.
    Parades are so much fun. I always enjoy Band Day when several area high school bands parade.
    I wish we'd gotten some of your rain...it was 100 here today.
    Have a nice week!

  17. No rain in this neck of the woods either Vee. No parade either. I think they are planning to start one again next year. It is over 100o here this week. Have a great week.

  20. I am swooning over the large farmhouse-y building (is that your town hall?!)...and the smaller building with the star on the front...and the white picket fence. It all looks so idyllic. Is this what Maine is all about?

  30. Sounds exquisitely vintage, Vee! I think small town parades must be as delightful as your photos portray them.

  32. Delightful... That mosaic could be titled "Home Town America." :-)

  35. Oh a parade to welcome summer sounds wonderful! The annual mermaid parade was held in Coney Island this past saturday but I was volunteering at the historical cemetery helping out in their on going records archival project.

    I love the color of your roses!

    Thanks for stopping by and nice comment. I was going to have my morning coffee out there recently and encountered a huge spider web, so changed my mind. :)
