Sights and Sounds of the Fourth

.

Our company has gone and I want to write down these lovely thoughts I've had rattling around in my head all day. They are the sights and sounds of Independence Day. Many of the same I heard as a child, which is incredibly comforting. Know what I mean?

horseshoes clinking

flip-flops smacking

fireworks so big they grab your tummy

little girls squealing

screen door slamming

fire popping

bottle rockets screaming

Fourth of July pie



Bright red toe nails, mother and daughter




Ice cold soda pop (and beer)

smoke thick from smoke bombs and ground blooms



and a crackling fire

hot Roman candles and cold creme soda

fire flies captured

grand finale
