we're still rebuilding.

my 4th of july was just lovely.
food. swimming. friends. family. sparkled fingernails. more food.

the rainy AZ weather was perfection,
especially since it cleared up just in time for fireworks...
...which i watched from the top of squaw peak,
under a gorgeous full moon,
with a banana popsicle melting down my arm.
my little heart was all swollen with summer and contentment.

from up there,
it looked like the entire valley was erupting in little explosions of joy.

and after visiting the sept. 11 memorial in NYC this year,
i felt a renewed sense of patriotism and gratitude.

all politics aside,
we are lucky to live in this country.
lest we forget.

oh beautiful for spacious skies,
