It was a warm – no - it was a hot day and we all gathered in the shade of the fence for the festivities.
It was a "swinging event"
Hailey is glad everyone came to help her celebrate.

More bears and a “Kitty” from the trail cam!
Clyde has identified at least 9 different bears at his camera spot… plus other assorted visitors. Some of them seem to enjoy posing for the camera.
There's a Mama and her cubs.
There are also younger bears that are beyond the cub stage. I think of them as teenagers.
There is even a rabbit who is turning brown again after the winter is over.
And here is the "Kitty"

Happy Birthday America!
Happy 4th of July. (I know, I know I'm late... Anyway... )
Happy Birthday AMERICA!!!
I was very awestruck by the sight of the original "Old Glory" in the Smithsonian. It was a piece of history that I didn’t realize had even been preserved. It was so enormous and so threadbare that it was in a special sealed room with special lighting. It was so fragile that no one was allowed to even take a flash picture of it because the lighting could deteriorate it even more. As people filed by it, they were speaking in hushed tones – if they spoke at all. This was the flag that inspired the national anthem – the song that binds us all together for that one moment in time when we put our hand on our heart and sing with a tear in our eyes because we love our country.
