Wonderful - you folks down south sure know how to celebrate! Happy July 4th!
ReplyDeleteA nice setting for the 3rd!
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to imagine how it will all look today on the 4th. LOL!
Nice bandstand. I like that a lot.
(So, did you manage to snarf up any of those free cookies?)
marja-leena,
ReplyDeleteIt does look jolly and festive, doesn't it? Happy Canada Day!
Paul,
One chocolate chip made by the seminarian, Emily. One absolutely fabulous coconut and chocolate chip cookie made by the rector.
What a lovely place you live in. Now that I am unemployed, maybe I will get over there sometime. I've got relatives in other parts of upstate NY. More likely however, you can come down to Floyd when we are there.
ReplyDeleteI love those little red commas filling up the frame. Is that a reflection of fireworks in the water?
Happy Canada day, indeed.
ReplyDeleteRobbi,
ReplyDeleteThat is just the work of an insufficient camera!
I am quite sure you will have many unexpected adventures and travels. Perhaps you will even make it to visit your distant relatives...
The ones in NY or the ones in Paris, Holland, South Africa, Israel, etc.?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time for a world tour...
Wow, Cooperstown looks like the place to be on the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteIt kind of reminds me of Gilmore girls. You probably didnt watch that show but it was pretty great.
It is rather old-fashioned... But we tend to have more things happening on Friday or Saturday (however the date falls) because of the ever-with-us tourists. Today the Hawkeyes were playing, but I did my demon-death-and-destruction thing on bishop's weed. Company coming soon.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor puttered off in his model T to Springfield Center, which has the second-oldest continuous 4th of July parade in the US.
Apparently you have an excerpted-content feed, but not excerpted in the usual manner. Unaware that there were photos in the post, I thought you were posting a fee-verse poem! This is what I got in Google Reader:

It almost works!
Drat! I hope other people don't think I'm doing lousy poems when I post pictures!
ReplyDeleteOf course, it makes a lot more sense that many poems...
The goodreads site had the same bad free-verse poetry lines that Dave had noted. "Oh, well. Not even Marly can write a winner every time," I thought. I was relieved to see that you were writing captions to an entertaining series of photos.
ReplyDelete"than" many poems!

Ms. B, Ms. B, Ms. B--
The world is full of so many mysterious people!
That thought is dreadful. Do I have to put in "caption," I wonder. Ugh.
Well, you could always change to a full-content feed, you know. :)
