Friday Flags: Waving Me to a Good Morning

Wednesday mornings is my league day with another 99 seniors in the Crestbrook Park retirees league in Watertown CT. I was a bit early this week, and as I was making my way up a hill, I saw a sight that just said stop.

The wind was blowing, and it had just enough strength to push this rather large flag as a way of offering direction.

The morning was overcast, but the wind gods wished me well and it worked as we played a great match.

It seems that taking a few moments to  appreciate what is around us becomes more common as we 'grow up'.

That was definitely the case as I saw, I stopped, and I shared.

I only have the one at the front and replaced it a month ago to compliment the fresh paint job for the house.

There’s something special about noticing those little moments when you’re not expecting them. Glad the wind gave you a good sign for the day! 😊

Thank you for another Friday Flag photo, Ed. Once again the wind gods were on your side. That flag certainly adds some color to that gray background.

Enjoy your weekend.

I thought so as well George, and that's why I had to stop. It played out well as I won my match George Souto

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - God bless America! May every community have American Flags that wave and have communities of people who appreciate living in America.

I am curious. Are you still getting the smoke from Canada?

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Patricia Feager   Now I'm going to have Kate Smiths voice in my head singing that song for the rest of the weekend, and that's not a thing.

No, the smog and smell seems to have cleared out, but we had so much rain it couldn't last long.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 I hope that tomorrow (09/11/2026) we see more flags than ever before. Many of us are fed-up with the new arising of communist socialism in our country and raising the flag in defiance of those who would destroy our freedoms is a great way to protest socialism.
