A Rainy 4th of July

Does it figure that it's the 4th of July and it's full-on raining!? The rain sure won't stop us though! I made up my mind to put up the canopy, against Billy's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did it...Tay and I hung out under the canopy in the rain, I made a mojito, and brought a book out to read in the rain. Just lovely! The rain let up a little as the sun set, so we got a chance to go set off some of our "baby" fireworks. Our neighborhood banged and boomed with bits of light bouncing above the housetops. The sound is both eerie and exciting. God Bless America!
