Last night was wild! We had fireworks going off on every side of us from about 8pm until 12midnight. Luckily it had rained because our neighbors were blowing stuff up left and right. We had bottle rockets and flares hitting our house and yard -and one almost hit Britton! I was getting really nervous for Kitty because we had left him outside when we usually bring him in on the fourth (we found him happily this morning). The fog rolled in too and so the fireworks were displayed behind an eerie haze of an almost-full moon.
We saw the professional fireworks going off in Loveland in the distance from our backyard and then the Country Club’s. The Stampede fireworks were delayed because of rain and didn’t start until about 11pm. We went to our front porch for those.
It was a nice and relaxed day (until all the blasts started) and I cut one of the lilies and put it in a vase as we were cleaning the house. I love making my own flower arrangements. The roses started drooping right away, so I looked online and found that if you add a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of bleach and two teaspoons of lemon juice to the water that it is supposed to help and by this morning the roses were perked right up! It was a colorful day, to say the least. Oh and Happy 31st Anniversary to my parents!
