For quite some time, we have chosen to fly our flag as long as the weather permits. There are so many who think they are American and fly flags other than the one we have saluted since childhood. To me, it seems we need only one flag. The rest is learning to love one another as neighbors, family, and friends.
This is what I woke to this morning. I don’t think I have ever been so happy on any morning much less a Saturday morning.

In NaNo news, I found the face of Violet. Violet is 16. I put in Google: button nose, fierce eyes, Slavic cheekbones, sensuous lips (Violet thinks they are ugly but she’s a teen), and what came up and seemed in my head to match the closest was Dakota Fanning, but I just wasn’t buying it. But on the same page was her sister. Bingo! Picture a pixie haircut and leather brown eyes and it will be way closer.

Okay, I haven’t written for the day so no word count yet. I’ll pop in later when that is done. I thought it was hard to write when depressed and feeling angst. Writing when happy colors the writing. Luckily, Violet is getting to dragon-up and land on Haven. She will have some great news when she returns to the little hamlet of Violetsville!

We are needing to replace our flag as we have had it flying for months. We are respectable of our flag as we refuse to fly it in inclement weather. So here’s Old Glory in all her glory!
Unfortunately, the wind is tying it up in knots so we will bring it in. A new storm is blowing in on the horizon. It will bring us snow tonight with a low of 22. Then a high tomorrow of 32 and the low 13 for Sunday. <<Shiver>>
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “jour.” Find a word containing “jour” or use it as is. Bonus points if you start or end your post with that word. Enjoy!
