celebrate good times

We spent the fourth at home instead of the beach since the clouds seemed to threaten rain all day long. It did sprinkle a bit here and there, but we worked in the garden. Dante and I had turned under his lettuce bed a few weeks ago and that's all done digesting, so we planted some carrots and red kale in there. The broccoli was also finished, so we pulled all that for Dante's new bed. He put in some head lettuce, carrots and I forget what else. Lucia planted some cosmos and her new bed has lettuce and room for more. Luke scraped additional areas of grass from the front lawn, so we started planting buckwheat and clover.

After dinner and a shower, we were planning on doing some sparklers and morning glories I had from last year, but as we we cleaning up, the neighbors started shooting off some real fireworks. So we wandered to the driveway to watch, and did our thing after they were done.

Can you see all the spent firework sticks?
