It was AWESOME, the very definition of ' Cannons to the left of me, cannons to the right of me!', and I didn't have to leave home.

I could hear and somewhat see, an official firework display from over the hill in front of my apartment, at the local Speedway.

But the real show was from all of the neighborhoods around me and downtown, which were of course unauthorized..

Here Is about a minute and a half edit of some of the fireworks that I could capture with my phone.

Oh, you did have a nice view! I discovered I was able to view the civic fireworks from the end of my street almost as well as if I'd driven to a nearby shopping center, so I watched on foot and met some neighbors who were doing the same thing.

My husband and I have decided that one day or even weekend isn't enough celebration for us, so we have declared July "Indeoendence Month" and are celebrating with all kinds of movies, tv shows, and books we have stacked up around here.

I leave flags out all summer beginning on memorial day.

It just makes it seem more 'summer-y'.

I agree, red white and blue from Memorial Day through Labor Day!

And out again for Thanksgiving weekend, of course.

I also have a couple of patriotic Christmas ornaments. Like the victorians had.

Oh, Interesting. I'd like to see them when it's convenient. I don't think I have any patriotic Christmas ornaments. I have one Confederate flag on my tree because I'm Southern, but most people wouldn't count that. I used to have a Revolutionary War drummer boy when I was a kid, but all those ornaments got stolen when my mother died.

Of course, I tend to collect ornaments when I'm on vacation, so I do have quite a few from various far-flung (to me) parts of the US. I guess that's an American celebration of sorts.

I have one small metallic one I really love that I bought when I lived in Texas. It's of an armadillo decorating a Saguaro (sp?) cactus like a Christmas tree. Alas, something about it broke, so I need to get it mended before I can hang it again.

Well who in the heck would steal christmas ornaments?!
