WOW, I can't believe it's already the 4th of July. I simply don't know where time has gone - seems like winter just ended & we're already mid summer. Whatever your plans are today may you be safe and have a full belly when it's over. I just made some deviled eggs, plan on a squash casserole (out of our garden) and some marinated grilled chicken. We have been invited to a BBQ but I think we'll stay home and enjoy the fireworks around the house. It is unbelievable how many people set off "city sized" displays. You can sit a chair in our back yard and watch them from all around so I think that's our plans for tonight. Believe it or not, but there are so many nice displays in the area that the town of Ocala has decreased their display costs to $2,000.00 which is about $10,000.00 less then the small city just north of our property. I can only assume that lots of people are opting to view their neighbors displays rather then fighting the crowds. Downtown Ocala has their fireworks display along with music, free watermelon & ice cream nice, but doesn't really appeal to us.
Pat is outside in the smaller back barn cleaning an area for the generator to be placed next weekend. It has been a two day project and I should go help him but the humidity is terrible and I seem to suffer with headaches once I'm out in it for any period of time so I'm really little to no help. I did just feed him some nice wheatable crackers with some filling from the deviled eggs and a nice fresh cold water. We're lucky because it's only 85 today with 79% humidity so it's cooler then it has been. According to the news DC & MD are getting hit with high temps - believe me we know what you guys are experiencing we've already had our share and glad it's gone for awhile.
Well, I guess I better check on the dogs and see what's ready to pick in the garden. Sure miss you guys we look forward to being able to visit soon. Have a super duper 4th of July - be safe, eat lots of good MD crabs, and have a great time.
Love,
Patty
