Today is the official day for celebrating our nation’s independence. This is often done by shooting off fireworks which most people have long forgotten are a symbol of the battles we fought to gain our freedom.
The people across the river have been setting off fireworks all week but they’ve been the kind that make lots of noise without lots of beauty. Since we’ve been hearing these all week we weren’t surprised to hear even more of them last night.
That’s too bad because we missed what was apparently a beautiful display. Dave discovered that only when he was going to bed.
He heard voices outside our bedroom window so he looked out and discovered neighbors sitting at our newly refurbished picnic table watching the display across the river. Before we could get clothes and shoes to go join them, it was all over and our neighbors were clapping and cheering.
I wonder if there will be a repeat tonight?

I would sure hope there’s a repeat tonight. We’ve had lots of fireworks all week-end and the dogs are not impressed.
Today is really the day they should shot the BIG ones off. Hope it works out for you.
