Skywatch Friday

Last week we traveled up to North East Kansas for the Fourth. We celebrated at the family homestead. My wife's family have lived on the land since the 1850s, her mom was born in the small white house that once stood here.  My sister in laws family carries on the tradition of good food, lots of laughter and fireworks to celebrate Independence day. Around sunset for a very brief time the sun appeared and actually lit up the clouds, I grabbed my camera and ran down to the fence row to capture it. Later the rain that kept us all on the back porch most of the day stopped just long enough for my nephews to shoot off the fireworks. Lots of "oohs" and "ahhs" and cheers. A wonderful day.
