July Fourth -- blue sky




July Fourth – blue sky,
picnic, baseball, firecrackers, 
feeding honey bees 

A perfect day to celebrate Independence. Everywhere I look I see red, white and blue. Blue sky and sunshine outlining everything in white highlights. Family and friends gather for a picnic. Uncle John's special barbecue sauce on the ribs, Italian bread, red raspberry and apples in the fruit salad, cherry tomatoes, potato salad, homemade lemonade in a blue jug, cookies and cream ice cream. The grownup Little League baseball players put on gloves and pitch a white baseball around the circle. The kids and grownup kids set off bottle rockets and firecrackers in red-white-blue wrappers. Our apiarist dons her white suit and opens the white bee hives to feed the honey bees sugar water.
