One of my favorite holidays
is the 4th of July.
It was always a big event when
I was growing up.
Small town,
a parade with the
high school marching band
a parade with the
a queen and her court
and even elephants
(1962)
(1962)
a neighborhood picnic
topped off with
fireworks and sparklers.
Times have changed, but
Independence Day is still
fun and important to celebrate.
When my kids were little we
would made a snowman from the last
snow of winter.
Keep him frozen in the freezer until
the 4th of July.
And then he would be
at the picnic, but for just a little while.
This little wool quilt
always reminds me of that tradition.
Now there is a new generation of flag wavers and
that make things exciting.
Of course the 4th of July

Of course the 4th of July
wouldn't be perfect
without the pie.
Hope your holiday was perfect too.

What a fun snowman tradition!
ReplyDeleteAnd what cute little flag wavers. : )
Such fancy pies. You should take up baking for a living. I suppose it wouldn't be fun anymore if you did that. The snowman tradition is a unique one.
ReplyDeletewish I could have been home to celebrate! you and daddy will have to freeze a snowman next year for the babies :)
