Happy 4th of July


You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.  ~Erma Bombeck

  3. The vases of Daisies are so pretty! Carla, sorry I've missed so many of your posts. I've just read back to the farmer's market and your flowers blowing over. Reminded me of our windy days at the market and my aprons and bonnets blowing away. I so enjoy your posts! Happy July 4th! It is raining here today!
