Hope you had a fantastic 4th of July weekend!! Did anyone go away? How were all the BBQs? I want to thank one of my readers, who actually did invite me to a BBQ after reading my last post, after I begged all of you for an invite.
On Thursday night I had dinner with my sister at a Greek restaurant out in Astoria. Afterward, we decided to walk around for a while. We were chatting about this and that when all of a sudden from behind a leafy tree an explosion of color burst out over the black sky. Fireworks! We followed the glittery reds and purples and the gunshot boom of the explosions down the sidewalk. Then we stood in the middle of the street with people who had suddenly stopped their car and gotten out to catch a glimpse of the show.
Colors lit up the sky. Greens. Purples. Reds. Whites. Oranges. Dots of color formed rings. Dashes of color zoomed heavenward. Color sizzled and dazzled. Eyes opened wide. Little kids put their sticky palms flush against their ears. Others jumped up and down and pointed excitedly. Cars honked. We clapped. We stood in amazement.
Sometimes, if you just look up, you’ll be amazed.
