My red, white & blue breakfast. I went down to the dock this morning to pick the blueberries, which are ripening just in time.
It occurs to me that like the Stars and Stripes, the Union Jack is also red, white & blue. I leave you to draw your own conclusions about my divided loyalties. Can't help it, I had relatives on both sides of the long-ago struggle for possession versus independence....
Last night the town at the bottom of the bay held the annual fireworks show. There's a floating bandstand, people come by land and water to watch. We sit here at the lakeside and observe the thick flow traffic down the Bay before the show, and up the Bay immediately afterwards. We spotted Winnipesaukee Belle in the pack, beautifully lit with a live band on board. We could hear the music as it went by the cottage.
New England is entering a heat wave, with temperatures soaring to 90 and above for the entire week. At the moment we're thankful for a cool breeze and cool lake water. The Chap and Ruth went swimming yesterday and I mean to do it today. Jewel isn't so keen, but perhaps she can be tempted.
Wishing my US visitors a most happy 4th of July and a pleasant holiday tomorrow. Have fun and be safe!
