Monday Blues: Americana...

Memorial Day today in the United States. The day we honor and remember those who paid the ultimate price to defeat tyranny and preserve freedom for certain people at home and around the world. Memorial Day also marks the start of the summer holiday season - Americana, in all its white picket fence, flag waving cow glory will be well in evidence over the next month and a half, or so. This handsomely decorated house in the neighboring city of La Verne, says 'Americana' and 'summer holiday' as well as anything around here I suppose. The only thing better would be an old farm bike hitched up next to that cow. And the handprints - well, they just bring it all back around to the Monday Blues. Celebrate. Remember. Think. Hope.
