In our town, we celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks on whatever day is Friday. Then we have our parade on Saturday. Always. Every year. Even if it means we're celebrating the 4th on the 1st or the 5th or whatever. It works, though some here complain about it not being "true" 4th of July celebrations!
One of the best things about this is the fact that every year on Saturday, the civic library has a book sale. I always pick up between 1 and 10 books for around 25 cents each. I am already excited about tomorrow's sale (even more than the parade!)! The second is that they do the fireworks in the field BEHIND OUR HOUSE! We get to sit on lawn chairs on the back porch and just look almost straight up! Here are some pics I took tonight:
Also, on my way home from work today, I snapped some shots of the river as it is flooding nearby fields:
This last is outside a house down the street from us. They have been pumping water out of their basements there for WEEKS!
I will post more as it happens!

I feel really sorry for the family with the flooded basement. The city needs to think of a long term solution.
But none hit the roof...darn it! :o)
The wind was blowing the OTHER direction!
