2021:  The PNW has been hit by intense heat waves for a couple weeks, and that, along with people's lack of common sense, means that there is a county-wide ban on fireworks.  There were a few people north and west of here that were setting off fireworks despite the ban, but most people were good about adhering to it.


Our neighbors went somewhere for the evening, probably to somewhere they could light fireworks.  I was glad about that, because they usually do a huge amount, but the cats were severely disappointed not to have the "pretty lights in the sky," even though they come with loud noises.  The few fireworks that went off didn't bother the cats, and Rainbow actually ran to every window in the house when she heard the booms because she wanted to see them!  Quite a change from last year!


I used the challenge mini kit by the Polka Dot Chicks and a template from “4th Fun” by The Cherry On Top.
