Fireworks are so much fun. Our friends with the cotton farm, who would water their fields and invite everybody to bring their fireworks, moved into town so… Oh well.
I’d never seen a single woodpecker here until this year. Somehow, we got all the grackles (those nasty noisy black birds) out of our trees, and so many others have taken up residence. All kinds of birds. I’m really enjoying it.

Every year for summer they let out some of the water in the dams for Southern California so our town gets a nice little lake perfect for boating and 4th of July fire works. Works for us since we can see them from the top of our horse trailer.
Love woodpeckers, though we don’t see many where I am. We moved down here about 4 years ago and I’ve only seen two. In our old town (only about 1 1/2 hours away) you couldn’t turn the corner with out seeing one. Keep your eyes open for me.
Happy Writing,
