make nests,
lay eggs,
and hatch in your ears??!!??
this is what julie and i were talking about sitting on the swing by the pool.
one climbed out from the blanket up by our shoulders,
and we were wondering about it.
please,
if you know,
share.
grilled corn.
slathered in mayo.
sprinkled with parmesian & chili powder.
chicago style.
i did not.
but the boys did.
and said it was great.
amazing, in fact.
...
max didn't like the loud ones.
and wasn't really sure about the rest.
but before they got loud,
she was excited.
then she was sad.
and had to go inside.
until we talked her into coming out at the end.
brennan was as happy as a clam.
the new firework laws allowed aerials this year.
we sat on our roof and watched them fly like popcorn in the sky from our house to the ochre's.
{mountains parallel to the rockies}
felt more like from sea to shining sea.
quite the patriotic sight to see.
happy freedom.
i may have a new favorite holiday.
{at least until the next one when i change my mind again.}
