Independence Day!
Saturday, July 4th, 2009 10:58 pmHaven't been feeling all that well today, either physically or emotionally. I love my friends and I'm sorry I missed seeing any of you. It's good to know that I would have been welcome today! Hopefully we'll be able to get together soon.
Anyway, not feeling well, not thinking well, not having the energy to do much of anything either fun or useful, I spent most of the day either in bed or sitting at the computer. On the plus side, I have tasty cherries here. Cherries make almost anything better.
Tonight, of course, I've been hearing lots of fireworks displays put on by the various local towns. Looked outside and saw colored lights sparkling through the trees. Went out on the back porch to watch for a while, then decided to put my shoes on and go walking toward the fireworks. Well, if I'd wanted to see the fireworks, I would have been better off staying where I was--we're at the top of a hill, and while the trees block out most of the view, they don't block it out entirely. So as I walked along quiet streets and dark, tree-lined paths that a sensible person wouldn't walk on alone at night, I could hear and smell the neighboring town's celebration better than I could see it. But the fireflies rising above the streets could see the flashing lights quite well, and they flashed back. I think the fireflies may have been the better show.
