Happy 4th of July

Happy 250th Birthday America. I enjoyed a local parade and visited my sister's home. Skipped the fireworks since saw them last night. I set off fireworks with my roommates in the driveway. Sparklers remind me of my childhood at my aunt's yard that was across the street from the ball field they set off the fireworks. Then years later they changed the location and lost prime real estate. Just as well since they moved to their lake cabin in another state.

Brought the dogs along. I brought a picnic blanket for them to relax on and they preferred the wet grass.

Symphony Concert and Fireworks

1st time going to City Symphony followed by fireworks. Prelude guitar and violin sang country songs. Nice big crowd at the capitol building where the concert takes place. It was broadcasted on public TV.

Lawn Watering Ban Ends

The water department called off the lawn watering ban from too many nitrates. Guess all the rain chnaged the nitrate levels.

I opened the door for dogs to pee while raining outside. They refused to go out, in fact ready to rush out the door cats stayed inside. Got the umbrella and called them outside to pee. They were afraid of the umbrella. Hopefully they won't go on the floor, but I am sure they will. I took them out later when not raining so hard. They did their pee.
