“ I Love The Smell Of Black Powder In The Morning!”🤗
Today was one of those days that you wished that you could just sleep in till Noon Lol!😇
“Silvertop………..Church is half empty, where is everyone today?”😮
Liz and Silvertop live deep in the forest, with several extremely combustible 500 plus year old Western Red Cedar trees, only several feet from our front door.
We were dreading our neighbors very “Over the Top” Fourth of July Fireworks Show!🙄
Guys Silvertop really likes Fireworks, let me explain…………….
Years ago in Cincinnati, we had a fireworks competition with several neighbors on our street. This was a “Battle for the most incredible aerial fireworks display”!😇
Silvertop would place a 250 foot mortar in a bed of sand, so it was stable………….
BOOM…… we would light one up!☺️
Then the neighbor would send one up!
Then we would light up the sky with another, and then another!
Everyone was careful, and we had plenty of clear open space for the fireworks!😇
Fun times my friends!🤗
Times have changed…………..
Now the mortars are much more powerful, reaching 500 feet above the ground, well above the Cedar trees of the forest!🙄
If you try to light up a “green” Cedar branch, you will discover that it very quickly becomes a flaming fireball!😬
Just after 10PM the sky lit up with a loud blast, that rattled our windows, and colorful sparks spread across our neighbors back yard!
“Silvertop are hot sparks falling near our Cedar trees?”😳
“I hope not Liz!”
Cot did an extremely fast low belly crawl across the house, and ended up hiding behind our water heater……😺
One 500 foot shell, then another, and another!
This continued till 11:25PM😮
Finally it stopped………….
Cot still would not come out, my brave “Baby Mountain Lion” didn’t know what was going on, but he definitely didn’t like it!😻
Thankfully nothing caught on fire!😇
“ Liz….. why don’t they light up their fireworks down here at the river! There aren’t any cedar trees down here, it’s much safer!”🤔
Thankfully it was a safe Fourth of July, I hope yours was as well!😅
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊

It was very impressive. I always did love fireworks. Just need to be safe 👍😊🤗

I'm glad that your 4th of July wasn't filled with raging infernos, my friend! Conifer sap is surprisingly flammable! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I just can’t believe that they are not thinking about this some people, my friend!🙄
