plumtreeblossomThe 4th was just lovely. It didn't even feel like the 4th of July, just a happy summer day, with fireworks.

beowabbit hosted a low-key brunch that was just the ticket. I came early-ish and turned into a kitchen dervish. I sometimes forget how much I love cooking for a crowd. We had way too much food, so more of you should have come. But we were glad to have your share of bacon. 10 people hoovered 3 pounds of bacon and probably would have eaten more if we had it.
After a nap (part of which was spent napping) we went to dinner withcathijosephine and darxus (I could eat edamame until I burst), then onward to the fireworks. I was anxious to stay near the T, so beowabbit and I watched from the bridge. It started very late this year, and I had just given up and was letting Jay walk me to the T when they finally started, so we stayed. The bridge is the best view I've ever had of the fireworks. It was lightly raining and I was under-dressed, but Jay held me and kept me warm, and it was one of those incredibly sweet scenes of togetherness where there's no need to talk, just be there with each other.
Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!
