Patriotism, Heat and Humidity

We are still under a heatwave that is not yielding any rain, instead we get only humid sticky weather.

Despite the actual weather, we had a wonderful Independence Day (July,  4th).

Our son Tyler made some little flags and placed them on the table center when we had lunch. Tyler and I, traditionally wear the same design and color shirts every 4 of July, he loves that and he usually picks the new designs for that particular day.

We also ate our lunch utilizing some paper dishes with the flag motif. All went perfect, and we enjoyed some moments together. At night, we had many friends from our Community exploding many fireworks until midnight.

We went to bed very satisfied of the joyous day we had. Despite the heat and humidity.

My backyard continues to be visited by many birds, some of my local birds are going through the process of molting, which give them a different look. I do not like to display them on my galleries like so.
