Happy 4th to fellow celebrants. Wishing for a more celebratory one in 2021!
Slowly but surely we are settling into our island setting. I met friend Vickey for a socially distance safe walk early afternoon, then spent the rest of the afternoon deep cleaning a bathroom including cleaning out the linen closet, medicine cabinet, and all the drawers. Satisfying, if not the normal way we'd celebrate the 4th here! Normally, we'd have had lunch in town at a friend's annual picnic party, walked to and watched the parade, come home for a few hours, and then headed to another friends' annual dinner and fireworks party. Instead, a great walk, a clean bathroom, and excellent dinner made by Jim. So, not bad.
Not bad but I can hear you were missing Some of the connections. So nice to see you with green and trees. I just hope that by next 4th we have a president not determined to seed hatred. It’s hard for me to feel celebratory towards our country’s birthday
Lovely light on the ferns! So sad that your celebrations are so different this year but I am glad you are safe there on BI enjoying your time with Jim - even if it included cleaning! We are living in strange times!
Not a bad place to be for the celebrations, if a little different this year. I always love ferns on a pathway caught in the sun. They seem to come to life under a patch of sunlight and almost glow.
My family was lamenting the lack of fireworks but I was just happy that the family was together. Because a lot (a number too high to contemplate) are missing family members and others are worried about them as they struggle with Covid-19. There will be other years for fireworks.
I love the vibrant green of the ferns.
It sounds like you made the most of your day, even though it was a little different this year, hopefully some kind of proper social life will return soon!
Yes, this fourth was certainly different for many than any other. I spent the day repairing a leak on my camper roof which was very satisfying. I seem to get more work done since Covid has forced me to stay home when I would normally be off on some kind of adventure.
Love the light on your ferns!
A beautiful fern, and lovely to see you back in your island setting. Another year gone! But as you say, this one a bit different to the rest. Despite the lack of celebratory feel, it sounds like you had a satisfying day.
