My husband and I had a wonderful celebration for Independence Day.
Chicago Steak Company
It rained off and on all day, but then cleared up. We started the grill on the deck and sat outside, waiting for the coals to be ready. (The potatoes were in the oven). It started to rain. It was a quiet rain, though, so we held our breaths, crossed our fingers and hoped we could get the steaks cooked. (I was ready if we had to use the broiler inside, but they taste better with the charcoal flavor.)
The rain stopped, and then –
It didn’t last long, but the rainbow was absolutely beautiful.
About the same time –
Video Hive
I didn’t get pics of our own, but this gives you an idea. He – or they – (we’re not sure if we had one or two) kept coming back over and over until he/they were tanked up. :0)
We enjoyed a bird singing, and MANY birds coming and going from our feeders. A road runner ran across the yard, and a white-tailed bunny showed up briefly.
We had two squirrels – one on the hanging feeder and the other at the feeder that has a gallon bottle in the window – scurrying around.
Amber, our 95-pound yellow lab, was happily checking out everything in the yard, playing in the rain, coming back up on the deck to be with us, and then doing it all over again.
We went in and ate our dinner, hoping our neighbors would shoot off fireworks later.
The rains came again – really HEAVILY this time – about 8:45. I thought that was the end of any chance of fireworks. But, as we were watching a movie (we are enjoying a marathon of our Jason Bourne movies), we heard the distinctive sound. We went out to the deck. The moon was coming out of the clouds – gleaming brightly. And the fireworks began!

We watched them for several minutes before going inside to continue with our movie.
What a wonderful celebration we had!
