We had our neighbors, Robert and Sharon over, and @Devonviolet and her husband. We grilled lamb/Wilbur burgers for lunch, neighbors brought chips, DV brought egg salad. We all had a great time. I made Keto hamburger buns so DV could have a non-wheat flour bun, she was delighted and took the recipe home with her and 2 left over buns.
Our other neighbors (and much younger) have been sitting in a parking lot since 12 noon so they can have a good spot to watch fireworks. They invited us.....uhhh…...nope. What little brains I have left wants me to watch the fireworks on TV under the AC in my recliner.

If anyne has ever been to a scenic little island in Michigan called Belle Isle, they've undoubtedly hear the legend of it's original name. Rattlesnake Island, so named by the native Americans. The French settlers turned swine loose on the island and the pigs eradicated the snakes.

And of course, there is the opening scene and very first words we hear from Gus in the TV miniseries Lonesome Dove.

They say young plants tender, older ones woody -- for carrots/Q Anne. I'll stick with the orange ones. But---those hikers stuck in the thickets might like to know these things.
Raining here, too. Some lightening & thunder, so far rain has been slack compared to sounds.

Had a nice quiet 4th of July at home with my rabbits and dogs
A few minutes after my neighbors started their fireworks, it started pouring...thunder, lightning and all!
Free fireworks!!! A nice stormy Independence day

Coffee here, too. Hey, we could have a road trip and stop for coffee everywhere along the way!
Many years ago -- I remember traveling and seeing "coffee stops" along the road ways for travelers. Of course, then driving was THE way to travel for most. Might still see that today but, since I don't travel like that much now, I don't know. Many were sponsored by Insurance companies, etc. It was a way to have drivers stop, walk, rehydrate....coffee, water, soft drinks, etc., all free. Being military and away from the "home" spots, you drove long and hard -- non stop. At this point in life, my "family" has reduced from 19 aunts, uncles, grandmas & pas to self, DS, DD & DGD. We are all here, no real travel.
So yesterday was quiet. Sunny & hot with cloud and noisy showers about 7 PM. Spent 3rd & 4th doing pretty much little things about the farm. Relaxed and loved it! Work has been up & down, back at it today and for next 10 days. Not always full days but, you don't get to do anything "large" with time available. Then, I'll have 4 days off again. Maybe I will get all these elderberries out of the freezer and juiced/canned for later use. Maybe not.
Two weeks out you just don't know what will come up. Roll with it...
Each day an adventure.
Enjoy your day...
