July 4th

Slow, lazy day so far.  Hope we get some rain this afternoon.  We got just enough yesterday to make it smell good outside.

 

These are the muffins I made with the gluten free flour.  They were edible, but just barely,  We ate them when Bill, Alice, and Barrie were here for supper.  The next morning, I tossed them in the garbage when I was making breakfast.  Alice said she wanted them for breakfast, so we took two of them out of the garbage (we hadn't put anything else on top of them), brushed a few coffee grounds off, and Alice ate them with her sausage and eggs.  I suppose she will tell everyone my cooking hasn't improved one bit, and that I made her eat out of the garbage!

Did I say she took the gluten free flour home with her?  I'm through with gluten free baking.

I'll watch the fireworks tonight, but I don't plan on working hard to take pictures.  I took this one a couple of years ago.  I set one of my big DSL cameras on a tripod and set it to the setting where I depress the button on the remote cable, and the shutter will stay open as long as I want.  What a lot of work, but I did get some nice fireworks photos.

 

Kat will be hiding under the bed during the fireworks, and may not come out for hours.  I always feel sorry for the dogs in town while the fireworks are going off.  Julie E. told me once she always put in a lot of hours after The Fourth helping people find their pets.
