Independence Day.
Independence from rain... well sort of. It only rained twice, and was nice in between. At this point, We called it close enough. Today looks to be even better.
B, C and I watched the sunset and fireworks in Wiscasset from Solitude Point (a rock formation West-ish of the house) The cats joined us for the waiting and disappeared before the booms. There was a Bald Eagle in a pine watching with us as well. How symbolic. Lots of bugs, of course. The moon even showed its face.
The fireworks were cool, being across the river (maybe a mile), were a bit small (but only a bit) and they echoed off the bridge, so we got a flash, wait 5 seconds, boom, wait 3 seconds, sharp echo of boom, then rumble echoes as the sound traveled up and down the river valley. They went on a little long for us who were mostly standing up, and getting bitten. And the finale definitely went on too long, as the smoke completely obscured the last half.
