How I spend the 4th of July (in the garden of course)

Happy 4th everyone, I hope everyone had a great day...I forgot to take the kids to the fireworks display in town tonight because I was trying to get some things into the garden and get the weeding finished. Had to pick greenbeans and plant a few veggies I saved from the local grower. He was happy to sell them to me for .75 four packs...Trying eggplant and some head lettuce. Used the tiller and it made it so much easier to dig holes afterwards.

But to my surprise, the neighbors had a wonderful fireworks display and we watched from the backyard...The cat took off from the loud noise and my daughter kept saying "Wow", "Are they over", and yelling for more.. I told her the whole neighborhood could hear her and she yelled louder...They had a better display than the township did last year....I don't even know which neighbor had them, with the trees I couldn't tell where they were coming from..That is okay, they were still beautiful.
