Can you hear it? - July 5, 2008 -
Our town does a fantabulous fireworks show. It’s on the bay, it is huge, and this year we had our boat and could motor on out and view it at anchor.
But we didn’t. Instead it poured rain all day, only clearing up in the late afternoon, so we stayed home and cooked. I made Chris’ potato salad, and this Flag cake, cupcakes, some BBQ ribs and baked beans. We stuffed ourselves, and then everyone showered and got in their jammies………well, not everyone. Let me rephrase that. I got in my jammies, and Bill and the kids went out front to wait and see if they could see the fireworks from our yard.
Bill called me outside as the sun was setting and told me to bring my camera. The sunset was just stunning. Red skies at night, sailor’s delight. I clicked away.
We never did see the fireworks…….the majestic coastal oaks blocked our view.
Then again, we might have been disappointed after seeing the Masters show……there was no music, no rockets, no bangs and pops.
But if you listened carefully, you could hear Creation sigh.
