The sun breaks early on the 4th of July in Cadiz, KY. It is also short lived as the rain clouds crowd their way in. This day begins cool, whether or not it continues to be cool will have to be seen.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For "amber waves of grain",
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Lake Barkley is full of boats enjoying the long weekend. Many boats got here early to stake out their place for the fireworks later in the evening.
After many years of 'spending the 4th in Seward' it is quite different to be where the day goes on as usual with just a little celebration at the end of the day. I can't say I miss the crowds or the traffic jams that go with it. However, the celebration in Seward does have it;s finer points. The craft show on the court house lawn, the entertainment at the Civic Center, the car show, the food alley, the long parade and of course the fireworks. Sometimes you just need a change of venue to make the same old activities look new once again. Happy 4th everyone!!
