Twisted flag

This weeks theme is Twisted
We have a flag at the front of our house. It’s attached to a flag pole that juts out from the bricks.
Unfortunately it’s fairly windy here in Toronto – all year round – so the flag is whipped around quite a bit. This is a photo of our Canadian flag twisting in the wind.
This past winter we left our flag up. I’d asked my husband to take it down in the fall since it was already getting a little raggy from being whipped around in the wind, but he didn’t remove it. I guess the flag spent the winter hitting the bricks as the free end seems to have a piece missing and it looks worse than ever.
It’s actually quite disgraceful.
Perhaps later today or sometime tomorrow we’ll go out and look for a new flag to replace our worn one with.
Do you have a flag at your house? Do you take it down in the winter? How often do you have to replace your flag?
I have often wondered if other nations have traditions about flags like our seeming fervor about the US flag: when it should be raised and taken down and the type of weather, etc and etc. But I have always loved the Canadian flag: it is peaceful.

We don’t really have a flag hoisted up in every home out here unlike in the US and Canada. Bad? Well, I don’t really know.
Very nice take on the theme! And hope you could get that new flag up soon.
