Welcome! So glad you are here! I’ve had a wonderful day and evening…I’ve been celebrating a dear friend’s birthday…out on the porch. This was one of those milestone birthdays and we had so much fun grilling out and feasting!
Happy Independence Day:
In celebration of Independence Day, I’ve pulled together a few pics from some of the historic home tour posts I’ve published in the past. Except, this time…all the homes you will be seeing are flying the colors!
Here we are, on Main Street America. The homes you’ll be seeing are from various places in the southeast. Some are in Greenwood and Columbia, South Carolina, but most are in Marietta, Rome and Roswell, Georgia. See if you can spot the flags and/or patriotic bunting in each picture. Hope you enjoy this tour. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
Hope you enjoyed the tour! Have a fabulous 4th!
Hi Susan
I love to see how Patriotic you Americans are on July 4th!! We are quite boring here and don't really do anything for April 23rd St Georges Day, out patron saint. My daughter is visiting USA from Wednesday for two weeks so I look forward to seeing her photographs.
Happy 4th July to you and yours.

Beautiful job, Susan. Love all the homes, and the flags look so pretty and patriotic. You do a great job as a photographer!!
Happy 4th of July. (And I can't wait to see the pics with your friend at your little birthday party for her out on the porch!)
Best,
Gloria
Thanks for sharing the great pics of the decorations for the Fourth. All of the homes are gorgeous!!!!
Okay Toto! We are not in Southern California anymore!! LOL! These homes are absolutely beautiful! I just adore the look, designs and overall down home feel. I would love to someday take a tour of homes like these. Thanks Susan for sharing the 4th of July and the beauty of these festive homes in celebration of our Nation's birthday! Hugs!
Happy 4th of July to you Susan!
Thank you for the house tour! I enjoy seeing houses, especially homes that have found a new family to love it again!
There is nothing like flying the flag — especially on the 4th!
Enjoyed the tour! Happy 4th!
So beautiful! reminds me of Red Bluff, Ca.
Good morning Susan~~~thank you for taking me on this tour of homes waving the grand old flag. Just something about summer and old glory.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Beautiful!! This is where I want to go when I run away from home. I'm going to spend an entire month on these porches sipping lemonade and tea….
I would love to celebrate the 4th of July at any one of those beautiful homes! I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend!

Oh, this is what the 4th means to me! Love these hometown photos!! How many times in my childhood did I walk by homes just like this! A flag flying on every facade! Susan you really captured a sentimental time for so many! Beautiful.
Have a great 4th of July.

I just love seeing those flags waving high. Thanks for posting, Susan. Happy 4th!…Christine
Hey there! Thank you for sharing theses! 3 I recognize well as they are 5 minutes from my house in Roswell. That little yellow one is always decorated so well. Happy 4th!
Just beautiful Susan, thank you and Happy 4th to you and all your readers!
There is something about older homes and history. I am of the generation of the historical homes, back in the 60's and 70's I have been in many of the homes. Thanks so much for sharing, it has brought back many memories! 🙂
You do show some beautiful homes.
Have a wonderful 4th of July. sandie♥
Happy 4th of July Susan, thank you for this wonderful house tour. Love them all but must admit I am partial to the small Kraftsman type cottages. Love the big porch and it just says HOME to me. Have a happy and safe 4th of July,Kathysue
That was a wonderful tour! I had a hard time deciding which house I liked best. Happy 4th to you Susan!
Delighted to be able to breeze by Ms Susan…I am still looking for the lazy days of summer, but they have not arrived here yet…LOL
Thoroughly enjoyed your pictures…and hope that your 4th was wonderful!
The homes, the porches, the trees- so great! Just give me a piece of apple pie:)
How wonderful to see so many homes with a flag. I wish we were that patriotic over here in Australia. Maybe I should start a trend and fly a flag at my house…
Happy 4th of July Susan!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Thanks so much for the tour! Beautiful homes made better by flying the flag! We fly a flad EVERY day! Yesterday I put 2 more out in my big pots on the front porch to welcome our guests. Hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. Can't WAIT to see the new tablescape too! Your friend was LUCKY to spend her b-day out on the PORCH with you!!!! XO, Pinky
It just doesn't get any better, Susan!
Happy, Happy Fourth to you!

Have a happy 4th and weekend, Susan.
Your blog, as always, is beautiful.
Thanks for these wonderful photos. I enjoyed them & I only wish I could see the insides of the homes as well!
Warmly, Michelle
Gorgeous homes! Thanks for sharing!
What beautiful old dames! The front porches say it all….
