Happy belated 4th everyone!

Whew. I can't believe it has been almost back to my birthday since I made it out to this blog. ::shakes head::

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July. I spent mine at home, listening to the fireworks exploding around the neighborhood and drive the poor dogs to distraction as they either tried to go see what it was making the noise or hide from the loud bangs.

In Alaska you have to wait until the wee hours of the morning to be able to set off the good fireworks, so the good display is always at the State Fair in September rather than on the 4th. September it is dark enough outside to allow the huge aerials to be launched up and look spectacular at a reasonable time of night. In July you sort of have to wait till after midnight to get the same kind of darkness.

Today, like the last few days, is a rainy muggy mess outside. Not sure when the good sunny weather plans to come back, but I'm hoping it's soon. I'm tired of rain storms. At least there is no bad lighting like there was during the last rain storm. Hate lightning.
