Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Americans!

[Smart Red]

The Declaration of Independence, signed in 1776, was written as fact, but there were a lot of crossed fingers through the Revolutionary War praying for it to become truth. Not so the Constitution. It was written, not as a list of great suggestions for future Americans, but as the Law of the Land.

Today we celebrate our independence. Let us celebrate our Constitution daily, keeping "We the People" close to the truths of our God given rights and true to the document that made our country exceptional in the world.

Have fun with family and friends. Enjoy the camaraderie and the fireworks. Appreciate the freedoms offered in this country and work to keep America free.

Happy Independence Day (yes, and a blessed Independence Day, as well) to all Americans.

Happy Independence Day to you, too!
We have had three days of rain---no, make that 4 days of rain. We watched fireworks in the rain last night. Two drones were dodging in and out of the fire showers and rain showers. Kind of a surreal thing to watch. Ah, America!

The Alameda Backyard Grower's group was in the parade and our theme was pollinators. We grow, keep, and give away excess of our garden's produce to our local food bank.

That's cute, Mary.

Happy 4th to you all too. Both of my kids are sick today and it rained cats and dogs off and on all day. Went to the parade, but probably shouldn't have. (Who gets sick in July anyway? ) We couldn't bear to miss out. Neighbors put on one heck of a fireworks show this evening.

I was hoping that bougainvillea would be totally covered in blooms but it gets a little too much shade. I am so glad we took out some ugly bushes and built that little sitting area. It always looks so clean and pretty now!
