Parade and B-day

All fireworks in our area were cancelled this year - something about not wanting to start more forest fires when we already have a few burning nearby (like the biggest one in state's history). That takes a lot of the fun out of the 4th of July. But we still had the local parade.
Look at this float - familiar words?
To try to make up for the firework-free evening, we decided to go to the park and feed the ducks.
This is what we found at the ducks' usual hangout spot. A huge pile of hamburger buns and no ducks. A few others had had the same idea we did, so the ducks weren't too hungry for our old bread. That and the rain that started as soon as we got there ended our outing pretty quickly.


We celebrated John's birthday a few days later. We gave him a new weed whacker to play with.

The last few months it seems I've lost some blogging inspiration, but I'm hoping to get some back and start blogging more again!
