Happy 250th Birthday, America!!!




And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!


1. I tend to forget to water my few houseplants. That's probably why they don't live very long! I'm a plant murderer.

2. I celebrate the 4th of July by watching fireworks. I can see them good enough from my living room window :) 

3. I was a fan of cats before they became popular. (I couldn't think of anything else here, but cats have definitely grown in popularity in recent years!)

4. I see new tires in my future. My left front tire has had a slow leak for years and I would need to add air a couple times a year. Now even with a portable tire inflator the low tire pressure light won't turn off. The tread isn't looking great either. I guess I can't complain too much, they are nearly 10 years old.

Happy 4th of july! Enjoy the fireworks and hope that the noise isn't too bad for you. Here We cringe at it and it started last night. By all means make sure you get those tires taken care of. Mudpie isn't going to want you to be stranded very long from coming home if you get a flat.

My black thumb salutes you, I'm not good with plants either. There are a few hardy ones which thrive on neglect, the Sword of St. George is one.

Have a blessed and beautiful Independence Day!

you are so sweet to stop by! As you know, your blog doesn't come to me! I meant to pop by the last time you commented and I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to. I'm hoping you didn't have a lot of boomers and I always think of you when it's hot because I know you hate it like I do! Sending (((hugs))) and love to you and Mudpie! Thanks for being so sweet to visit us!!

Mom and dad watch the fireworks from the upper deck of the catio. Thanks to less rain and humidity this year, they were not totally blocked out by the smoke they put out. Mom gave up on houseplants or any kind of flowers years ago. Lisbeth eats them, and some of the angels did as well. Very nice selfie for the 4th! Thanks for hopping with us!

We had so much rain that any fireworks would have been washed out!
