Hello July! Every July, we celebrate the month by sharing fruit with fruit-lovin’ Olivia. Cherries are her favorite and we were lucky that a neighbor shared some with us. No, we didn’t tell her one of our cats liked them, too. Some things are best kept to one’s self.
Later today, fireworks go on sale in our area for Monday’s Fourth of July. Mind you, fireworks are illegal around here, yet they sell them anyway. Talk about sending the wrong message! Technically, they are illegal inside city limits, and because we live about a quarter mile outside of city limits, shortly, our area will begin to sound like lots of people have lots of money they can afford to blow up. For days on end.
Quint and perhaps Olivia, maybe even Pia will pretty much stick to blanket forts in our bedroom for much of the day. Ditto tomorrow, Sunday, and definitely on Monday. Mom has to work Sunday and on the 4th but Dad will be here to keep curtains and blinds closed and to offer comforting words and gentle pats.
Stay safe out there over the holiday weekend and on the 4th. We’ll be back in about a week and hopefully, most of the bang and booms will be over by then!

Sweetie is mostly deaf, but she notices the sparkles in the sky.
Manny couldn’t care less, but CB will hide inside the coat closet when he’s had enough noise.
Fireworks are illegal here, but you would never know it. Have a nice 4th despite the noise. XO
We don’t have fireworks close by, but they can be seen across the river. Eric used to love to sit in the window and watch them.
Stay safe everyone!
The fireworks here have already started. It’s going to be a noisy weekend!
Your neighborhood sounds like mine! Fireworks are illegal inside the city limits…but that doesn’t stop anyone from buying them & even worse…setting them off. Very frustrating. Olivia looks like she is ready for her treat 😉
We hate fireworks. There are legal ones that don’t explode, but sadly, many MANY chuckleheads around seem to have the illegal, near-professional grade ones that they set off for days on end. Right above everyone’s houses. Scary for the residents, but we also worry about animals — wild and domestic, and humans for whom the explosions are triggering. Luckily, Ava is not that phased by them. Stay safe, dear pals. XO
Dont eat that cherry! TBT broke a tooth on one…
