Funky Flag Necklace
Maybe I should've called this post Boat Brigade, given all the nautical paraphernalia. Sailboats, anchors, marina flags -- even a parrot. But it didn't have the same ring as Pinwheel Reel, nor its symbolism about keeping things spinning.
Because it was a whirlwind of a Fourth of July weekend, which means two outings instead of zero. As you know, Saturday was my parents' BBQ, and today the husband and I went to Rita's. I kept the Swedish fish theme going by getting that flavor gelati. Sometime in between I remembered to eat the blueberries from the farm stand (I had to sneak in some antioxidants) -- and photograph our fortuitously red, white, and blue kitchen mat. All of the flowers are at my parents'. They're both gifted gardeners, unlike yours truly.
The husband, Chippo champ.
Life is just a bowl of berries.
Hi, Mom!
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.
Flags of our flowers.
Blah backdrop? Paint it mellow yellow!
Here comes happy!
I can't believe that another Fourth has come and gone, and that this marks the third one since the beginning of the pandemic. But I'm still here and so are you. And I think that that, along with America's birthday, is something worth celebrating.
