Fourth of July weekend

It’s been nice having an extra day off.

For the 4th, Radford has a day-long celebration at Bisset Park. We walked down and looked around a bit, but it wasn’t all that exciting, and it was starting to rain. There were a lot of fun-looking things for kids, and the demographics of people there tended toward families with young kids. The annual fireworks show started at 9:30. By 9, there were a lot of people around our apartment. We had suspected that our back porch might be a good place to watch from. It was. (See pictures below.)

Saturday morning we got up relatively early and went blueberry picking. It rained for quite a bit of the time, but the picking was excellent. We got 2 gallons in about an hour. Note the measurement mark on the side of the bowl below.
