Things

They were shooting off fireworks at a park about a half mile from me. This is what I caught with my camera:

Fourth of July was lots of fun. Michael came over. We had ribs and burgers, plus homemade lemonade and cole slaw.

Other news: I finally got to pet my feral backyard cat, Sweetie Boy! I gave him some salmon (it's dried stuff that I mixed with water), and he was so content eating it he didn't jump when I touched him. I just gently scratched him along his back. I've been able to do this twice. I hope that I can tame him, then have him fixed, so he can be an indoor cat. He is so thin, even with me feeding him every day, that I'm not sure he could survive winter. He's pretty young. Nutmeg is 13 and Melody is 9, so they are like old ladies compared to this fine young boy!

Stash

Rocky the Ferret likes to steal pens. Here is a stash of them that I found in the laundry room:

FOURTEEN!
No wonder I can never find a pen when I need one!
