Well folks, we are 100% immersed in July mode and it just started. Low 90'sF and 95-100% humidity. The mosquitos and biting flat flies arrived in full force yesterday. UGH!!
My head net has been clipped to my belt loop for weeks. I knew this day would come.
smile, what else can you do?
7/3/25
Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do for the dogs. Tank isn't bothered by biting pests. He has a thick course light colored coat. On the other hand, my old grand dog Jameson gets attacked ruthlessly by swarms of biters. The flat flies draw blood and create welts. The F-ers love his ears. J is a trooper, but I just can't allow it. Until biters calm down, our time outside will be limited.
Before the swarms arrived, I enjoyed a different kind of float in our lil' Cowgirl Pool! It stayed in storage last year. I missed it. Such a great way to cool off at the end of the day, and relax without going anywhere.

The Fourth of July was my favorite holiday. Best memories as a kid was decorating my bike for the neighborhood parade, and of course watching fireworks. I found a somewhat similar kid parade for my country raised children to experience.
We enjoyed watching little-big city firework displays from our old house. Rhythm N Booms fireworks were coordinated to music. You could tune in on a radio. It was epic! A huge event that drew massive crowds. We lived on top of a hill and hosted family friends for years. Brad would also light off his chosen impressive fireworks for our guests. Complete with a large self made PVC pipe fireworks holder. Ohhh, the memories!!
Things are quiet now. I don't even decorate the house anymore. One thing that hasn't changed, is my appreciation for freedom (that isn't free).
For those of you celebrating, have a Happy & Safe Fourth of July!!
