Happy Fourth!

I love this day! The pretty flag with the stripes and stars is everywhere and the whole neighborhood smells like meat cooking. Yum!

Rather tricky out, because it looks like it would be cooler than it is. We got a nice walk in earlier, nonetheless. I still just can’t quite reach that water that the nice lion is trying to give me at Nakatomi Gardens.

Maybe we can bring a ramp next trip.

There are little flags all over Utica Square. Even the moles are patriotic, I guess!

The moles’ fireworks ought to be interesting. Be sure to wear protective eyewear.

A fellow’s got to be careful when he’s doing his business around there: don’t want to disrespect the flag!

A little later, my Elder Brother is going to be heading out to watch some fireworks. When we first got together, he was concerned that I might get nervous around fireworks. As you can see from the Mardi Gras parade fireworks we watched on the boat, he needn’t have worried.

Three cheers for the red, white, and blue!

Red, white, blue … and gold!
