happy un~b~day to you

after a gorgeous sunset last night on the 6th of july
we decided to celebrate america's unbirthday without the
rain to interfere with the fireworks.

with what we had leftover from the 4th it was just
enough to make something of it.

the children were delighted with two fun days in the same week.

they danced and swirled around...lined up to catch the
parachutes shot off by g-pa.

we had some giagantic sparklers left.

we had eaten another great meal outdoors of beef brisket, home

grown beets, greens beans w/pototoes & onions, stewed tomatoes

over rice...and a little bit of leftover lemon~coconut cake.

we had a lovely evening playing with the kittens outdoors

this little grey one is quite docile.

...if we keep one this one will be it...if...

everyone was quite relaxed and just enjoying being out of doors.

we didn't mind having to celebrate

again...somebody has to do it...right?
