Our Patriotic Duties

After a busy, rush-rush-rush week, we spent the Fourth of July:

1. Sleeping til 9 (OK, 9:30 for me, actually).
2. Reading books.
3. Grilling dogs.
4. Enjoying the view.
5. Feeling the breeze.
6. Not shopping.
7. Chopping up a cherry tree.*
8. Tending to plants.
9. Using no gasoline.
10. Flying the flag.

*Tree already long-dead.
