4th of July

We are having the family over for a bbq today.  The usual 4th of July fare, hamburgers and potato salad.  There will be side dishes, of course.  Daughter M requested cosmopolitans and who am I to disagree?  There's nothing better than a pink drink.

I fell in my garden yesterday trying to cut back spent cannas. This is the rainy season in Central Florida and the ground is mushy.  I was barefoot and couldn't maintain my balance.  I fell slowly and fully aware of the ridiculousness of it, right into the cannas.  Then I had more to prune, as so many stems were broken.  I fell on my right arm and now it hurts.  Not so badly that I can't still cook and clean for company.  Oh well.  

I am so not proud of the Divided States of America right now.  But I live in hope, with a side of fear.
