Epic Fourth o' July weekend...summer in full effect! Thank you, America, Uncle Sam, Paul Revere, Founding Dads, Lady Liberty, Neil Diamond (circa The Jazz Singer), Coca-Cola, Freedom Fries, Waves o' Grain, (etc., i.e., et al) for:

BBQs, backyards, dice games, willow trees, bicycles, cheese flags, Cha Cha, badminton, semi-scary pyrotechnics, Frito salad, scatch....

The Declaration of Independence was signed:





Patriotism manifested itself in dessert form:





Fuzzy photos were taken:





(etc., BBQ, etc.)

Then, post Independence Day, James and I took a day trip to Madison looking for cheese curds and adventure.



Most of the cheese curds were fed to ducks in Lake Mendota.



I wanted to take more photos, but my camera battery D to the I to the E to the D.
