Is it July already?

Now I know the summer season is truly upon us.  Three festivals in the last three weeks were good clues but this evening it was confirmed beyond all doubt.  Just a little while ago, I was treated to a 20 minute fireworks display that was really quite lovely.  I had a perfect view from my balcony.  I'm not sure what the fireworks were in honor of but I suspect it was the finale of Rib Fest.  By the end of July, I will probably not be so excited by the sparkles in the sky but, for now, I will enjoy them whenever they occur. Hooray for summer!!!
