Independence Day

We grilled a weekend’s worth of meals on Friday so we could mostly stay inside away from the heat without using the oven this weekend. I did have errands to run, so I drove through River Oaks to see flags flying on the mansions of people who can afford to keep their lawns well-watered during the heat wave. Here are a couple of shots I liked:

Unlike certain cooperative Midwestern dogs, Guinness and Margot didn’t want to pose in t-shirts with eagles and patriotic slogans on them. Maybe they’re exercising their right to protest holidays that involve the noise of fireworks.

  1. The gateway and doorway look so fine – a very tasteful celebration.

    Poor dogs . . . it’s wonderful how you always manage to interpret their expressions!

    Hope you had a nice cool celebration!

  2. Guinness is a trooper, but Margot’s face is pitiful. Bet no one can explain her levitating front paws. :~)

  3. Love the two River Oaks shots.
    Margot and Guinness could be the poster children for the sacrifices made for our country. 😉 (Margot’s levitating abilities are extraordinary!)
    I had 2 black dogs in my lap last night when neighbors across the street started setting off an hour’s worth of (illegal) fireworks.
