Editor's Note: I love that there was a flagpole on the farm. I could be way off but I don't think that is very common anymore. Okay, well I don't know what I'm talking about because as I think about it, I realize my neighbors on other side have flag poles. And my neighbor in my last house had one so big in the back of his house that you could see it from the front. Insert jokes of inadequacy and overcompensation here (we sure did). We're a mini-flag in the garden and bunting in the window kind of family. What was really sweet was when we got home from my husband's Naturalization, our friends had covered the yard with mini flags.
