Daisy, the celebration apparently started in my neighborhood about a week ago. Each night all during the past week the sky has been lighted with fireworks. Up until two years ago my city had a ban on all fireworks except sparklers, smoke bombs, and snakes. Since nobody paid any attention to the city ordinances that banned the fireworks, the city decided to lift the ban and allow them which opened the door for the sale of them in the city and, of course, more revenue for the city coffers. Since then fireworks tents have popped up at this time of the year like mushrooms in the forest during spring time. The week before the 4th and the week after the 4th fills the sky with aerial displays of exploding fireworks as the smell of burnt gun powder wafts through the neighborhood air. Ah, the celebration will be outstanding and last until the wee hours of the morning on this night. Who needs to buy fireworks when I can watch every one else's from my spot on the front patio.
