We had a wonderful picnic tonight on the waterfront where we had a chance to enjoy the weather and the views while we finally started to relax. We actually took time to watch Giant Egrets hunt for fish on the shore and to read some of the magazines that have been collecting dust on our tables.
Tonight, we just stood in our driveway and watched the fireworks going off in the night sky in all directions. We could see Clearwater's higher fireworks to the south, the neighbors across the way where numerous households seemed to be trying to outdo one another as they set off fireworks over the lake, and others to our north, east, and west. The bombs are bursting in the air in all directions, and if we had not started to get eaten alive by mosquitoes, we probably still would be out enjoying the show. Either fireworks are inexpensive and not as regulated as they are in Wisconsin, or people spent a heck of a lot of money on lots of illegal fire power. Something tells me this is not going to be a peaceful night!
