{Happy Fourth of July!}

From cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com via Simply Created by Cole on Pinterest

Doesn't that cake pop look yummy?

I might have to make some of those soon!

We are not doing fireworks this year...

actually our entire town is not.

We have a fireworks ban because it is just too dry.

I will miss the fireworks, but I would rather be cautious.

Rain would be nice. 

What do you have planned today?

Wishing you a safe and wonderful day!!
