star spangled celebrations

I imagine I am probably one of the first....if not the first.....to post pictures from a fourth of July celebration. Don't ask me the reason, but a little town in our area always has their fireworks the weekend before the actual holiday. I love a good fireworks display....I'll tell you why soon.....and these did not disappoint. They were quite spectacular really. I found this quote and really like its sentiment.
Did you know that fireworks date back to 12th century China where they were used to scare off evil spirits with their loud sounds and also to pray for happiness and prosperity. If you are looking for a little way to add some star worthy sparkle to your fourth celebration, don't forget about our star sparklers. What do you enjoy about fireworks?

I enjoy the memory of the words from my son, when we were on the east side drive in NY City and he said'
Ook Mommy, diamonds in de sky" and all I could do was chuckle...

I am smitten with fireworks and have been for a long time. I love the unexpected. And while I know they are manufactured, they always seem magical. I love that no two people see them the same. I love hearing the ooohhs and aahhhs that people make at the exact same time. It is truly a marvel to me each time and I never get bored watching them. I love the all white ones.
