The 4th of July , to me, is hte end of spring, and the start of summer.
July 10 is the start of the hell weeks , hot days, normally.
Heat came early this year.
Short on money so no daytrip to the Dakotas for fireworks this year.
Starting soon will be some county fairs and farm shows, which , to me, is the harbinger of fall, although, as I wrote last year, that no longer is a bad thing as grade/high school is a long, long, long, long time ago, while Thanksgiving and Christmas are highlights of my year now.
