A little parade… A little rodeo… A little fireworks… Topped off with a swirl of street dance… Yup. That’ll do!
Great Day
I hope your Independence Day was great! **** It’s time for questions! Post ’em here…
Independence Day

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which…
Haying Weather
The guys are hard at it… there’s plenty of hay knocked down and waiting for the baler to make the rounds! Yes, that’s the baler dusting up the back field. Yes, those are BIG bales, not little 90 pounders! Yes, that’s a ton of hay! (multiple tons actually 😉 ) Yes, that is an evil…

More Pics
My small part… I hung pine garland on the deck to help block the view of the ski lift and parking lot… and put one on the head table with some wildflowers.
