July 4th - Sue

It's 10:30 pm as I start to type this. Fireworks are going off one after the other..this is the 4th straight night in our neighborhood. It starts each evening about 6 and continues til now or later...last night til nearly midnight. None of the little sparklers and smoke bombs stuff we bought for the kids when everyone here had small kids in the neighborhood....oh, we had a little better than that, but the stuff they shoot off now is what i would have considered a huge fireworks show as a kid. I'm amused to hear a leaf blower running in the background, as someone is trying to clean up their portion of street while the fireworks are still going off.
Just wanted to share these pictures of my flowers because hardly anyone gets to see them! I bought these two petunia plants at Sam's Club, late in May...they didn't even look that good when I brought them home, but I repotted them anyway, and look how they've repaid me. And the other amazing thing is my grapevine, which we planted probably 5 or 6 years ago,
so I could have a grapevine and make wreaths.... last year, it suddenly bloomed and had grapes and this year it looks like more of the same. The birds got to them before I did last year, but I'm going to be more diligent this time and see if I can harvest a few of the grapes...

Thanks for letting me share!
