Today is Memorial Day. We remember; our flag is up.

On our never-ending search for items of Blue, we spotted this portable basketball hoop a few blocks from our house. Of course, I'm also showing you the beautiful Florida Blue sky. We're experiencing a terrible drought, so we see plenty of these pretty skies!
Well, here's a closer shot. Can you see the Blue outlining the backboard with a square of Blue in the center?
Happy Blue Monday!

Happy long weekend Sally!
Basketball hoops are not as common here in Sweden as they seem to be in the States.
Happy Blue Monday!
well it isn't something you see around here - I don't think anyone would put one on a driveway - if anywhere they'd put them in a back garden.
Happy Blue Monday and
Happy Memorial Day!
I love the blue Memorial sign, Sally. tghe hoop is perfect too. Happy Memorial Day!..Christine
Happy blue monday!
Have a nice blue monday!
Happy Blue Monday! To answer your question: houses in my neighborhood are all different and set back at different lenghts from the street, so the basketball hoops aren't really noticeable. Thanks for hosting!
The blue basketball hoop is charming. Enjoy your holiday celebration!
Happy Blue Monday Sally. Thank you for hosting.

I see the standing hoops everywhere but have never owned one. When the kiddos were young, we had a backboard and net over the garage door. Have a lovely Monday Sally!
Happy Blue Monday Sally. Love your blue
Great pictures you show.
Have a good second Pentecost.

The blue on the flag is one of the best blues ever!
I don't think portable basketball hoops are any more of an eyesore than the built-in ones, and the portable ones are more easily taken down and disposed of when they do get to be an eyesore.
as long as it stays in the driveway...here, some genius put in on the side of the road.
Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Blue Monday Sally!
My Blue Monday.
That's really a blue basketball hoop.
It's a portable one, I don't mind if it's placed in driveways. I can easily move it away :)

Hi Sally, Happy Red White & BLUE Monday! Hope your weekend is going well. I am late but made it this week. xo
Sally, I think you did very well in locating some blues. I am never without my camera in case I see something. I do not like the basketball hoops near the driveways. I think it is kinda tacky.
Hope you're having good weather for your long holiday weekend, Sally!
Sally, blue skies are great, but sorry to hear you are expecting drought conditions. We've been fighting that for two years. Last summer was the worst, and everyone is hopeful that this summer may be a little better. We've had some rain, but could use more.
Basketball hoops in a driveway ~ I'd rather see them further back in a driveway out of sight. But if kids are really using them, I say GREAT!
Thanks for hosting and Happy Blue Monday! ~ Sarah
Schönen blauen Himmel mit köstlich. Schöne Fotos. Grüße.
Happy Memorial Day !
Happy Blue Monday!

Happy Blue Monday!
HI Sally!
sorry to be so late.
life happens..
today was no exception!
basketball hoops..
altho my grandson plays with a team....
following the footsteps of his father and grandfather...
who both played..
and earned college scholarships!
I detest seeing the portables in driveways...
but even more often....
out in the streets!
I prefer keeping the kids out of streets...
but that job..
is up to their parents..
not me...
"the mean old lady across the street"!.
enjoy your day!
hugs Loui♥
Happy Memorial Day Sally. It has been a lazy day for us because we have been helping my sister move and her son and his family move into her home. What a week. Yesterday I was in Atlanta for my great Niece's HS graduation. It was a lovely day.
Basketball hoops do not bother me as long as they are being used. I think it is healthy for kids to have fun at home in their own yards. However, when there is little or no basketball going on it is time to take them down.
The Florida blue skies are beautiful. We too have had great weather and plenty of sun and blue skies. There is just enough rain to keep the greenery happy.
Take care my dear friend and thanks for our Blue Monday party.
Love, Jeanne
Wonderful start to a Wonderful Holiday!
Love ya,
John
First timer for this blue monday site. Hoping to continue for a long time. Enjoyed pics.
my eldest son would kill for those hoops! he would say they are a beauty to behold, ha ha!
Hi Sally, Happy Memorial Day! I don't mind portable basketball hoops. Hey, I say anything that can get the kids outside is well worth it.
Hugs,
Jann
I made it, seven minutes before the linky closes! Haha!
Happy Blue Monday! :)
