Day-to-day Journey: Of summer showers and spring flowers

When you think of celebrating Independence day properly, you might think of grilling savory hamburgers, swimming in a pool (and successfully getting sunburned), and watching colorful fireworks. That is how I imagine the 4th of July should be. Yet, this year, it rained. Yes, it simply rained. Other than being my brother’s birthday, it was beginning to be quite a disappointing way to celebrate the 4th. What I was mostly bummed about, though, was the lack of fireworks. we did not see any fireworks. At least, that is, on Independence Day itself. In the end, we heard that a theme park near our house was doing their fireworks on the 5th since it was raining on the 4th. Yes! One tiny victory! The fireworks were amazing as usual and we had a good time. All that said, hope you had a happy Independence Day! (in light of the recent actions of our government, however, some begin to wonder what our representatives believe is True Freedom. The light of Christ and the Scripture describe the True meaning of Freedom and Justice.)
Anyhow, I thought I would share with you some of my more recent picture of some of the flowers around our house.
