Fly away Flag!

My husband, being awesome, made me a flag holder. It's 3 metal poles spray painted black. The metal poles we used were found in our house after we bought it - which were a piece of conduit cut in half and an old brace bar from some unknown-farm equipment.

I used binder clips to help keep the flag straight for awhile. My husband got the bright idea of putting metal rings at the bottom of the flag and a small hole near the bottom of the flag on each post to bungee cord the flag down such that it moves but stays up right...

That lasted for over two days! Which is impressive considering this is in the flat farmland of Iowa, (with our windblock only 2.5ft high right now). I thought it was sooooo ingenious too. At least until I came home one day and found the flag flying free once again. 

Oh well, at least you can read it sometime... Hopefully it won't freeze too badly so that I can easily change to the christmas flag when the time comes. :) (I don't have a winter one yet.
