We went to a Fourth of July pool party on Sunday, so today will be a quiet day, me and hubby, going for a walk and grilling burgers.
I spotted two interesting sights during my last walk.
First was this lovely pink blossom in one of our pots in our courtyard. Because our temperatures are well over 100 degrees, most of the blooms have faded away.
Then I saw two desert kingsnakes. They aren’t venomous and they eat rattlesnakes, so I guess that’s a good thing they’re hanging around our neighborhood.
I hope you all have a Happy Fourth of July!
What are your plans today?
I am scared of snakes but this one is pretty.
I’m afraid of snakes, too. I’m surprised at myself for standing still and getting a video!
Brave lady. I’d run a mile after seeing it.
At least it wasn’t a rattlesnake! I would have run for sure.
Oh yes, those are dangerous, everyone knows
That’s the big fear out here.
That I can understand fully.
Thanks for sharing Happy 4th Day..great images. Anita
Thank you! Happy 4th!
Some potato salad, some chips, ice tea and honestly EA- hoping Washington doesn’t make the current news for major wildfires started by all the fireworks. It’s already such a hazard. Enjoy your burgers!
I remember some close calls with our fireworks at our cabin in Robe, WA in the woods! I hope it’s a safe Fourth of July!
BBQ-ing with the family…Happy 4th to you, too, Elizabeth! 😎
Happy Fourth!💕
Love the sights from your walk, Elizabeth though I admit to not liking snakes much. We are going to watch the fireworks on Lake Union from my brother’s boat. Happy Fourth!
How fun to watch fireworks from the water. We used to go to Anacortes to do that when I was young.
Such a pretty flower. My hubby works at the fireworks booth all day and then he brings home some of the safe and sane ones which we shoot off in front of our house. We’ve done that for years. Some friends come over but it’s not a big picnic type thing so I have no big mess to clean. Happy 4th
That sounds like a great tradition!
Happy Fourth! I am getting ready to float in my sister in law’s pool! 😎
Sounds like a good plan. We jumped in our pool after our walk.
What are we doing today? Burgers and corn. I love my country 365 day a year, so the 4th is just one of those days.
Awesome. Corn and burgers are favorites over here too.
Happy 4th of July!

A quiet night in, other than fireworks outside! Lunch with a writer friend. Lots of catching up over a 4 hour lunch. Very hot here, looking forward to the rainy weather promised tomorrow.
I hope you had a good day. We had a quiet restful day.
We did. The fireworks were not too loud and the pug is okay.
We didn’t hear a thing! Thankfully no fireworks in the area because of fire danger.
We were at the east end of Long Island and drove home yesterday
😊Sounds like a fun place to be for the Fourth.
