Happy 4th of July everyone. This year's celebration were certainly different than those of the past. Without family gatherings there were no cookouts. No little ones in the water....no jayaking or paddleboarding for the grand kids. Just not the same. Hubby and i did spend some time on the water in the boat and another day in our kayaks.
Yes the tradition that started many many years ago still carried on this year as well.(without realizing it) and came as quite a surprise. As a child i loved eating lobster and spending my birthday at the beach. My Mom would always buy me a lobster for my celebration. As i grew older then married my husband would follow suit...then my son and daughter would do the same. My son one year bought me a 14 lb lobster..wow! It was delicious...when my daughter married how happy was I to not only gain a wonderful son-in-law BUT a Lobsterman. That's right we would celebrater with buckets of lobsters.
So this birthday was going to be a quiet one until my wonderful neighbors sent over.....you guessed it LOBSTERS, steamed clams and corn on the cob. This old lady was one happy neighbor/friend. Love my Ma%$&@ole friends..thank you again.
Other than that what else is going on? I purchased my first daylillie plant....yellow Stella d'oro. I love her
She's in a pot right now but plan on planting her along the fence in the fall.
My other plants, hens and chickens are doing great and starting to flower.
Not sure i've seen that before.
Coming to the end i want to say Thank You from the bottom of my heat to those of you here with me.
A Bientot
How lucky you are that your daughter married your favorite food source provider. Happy Independence day and glad you enjoyed the lobster.
