Cousin Gus and his family hosted the extended family for a 4th of July barbeque. They are kind enough to do this nearly every year. We always have a good time at these gatherings. Back when "the old folks" The Husband's grandmother, great aunts, and uncles) were alive, the extended family got together more often, but since their passing, we're down to about twice a year - 4th of July and Thanksgiving, always at Cousin Gus' invitation. We appreciate him for this.
Gus barbequed the pork shoulders, and the rest of the attendees provided the sides and desserts. What a feast we had! Unfortunately, since The Husband and I are on a low-carb diet, we could not enjoy many of the dishes. Still, we had great fun visiting with the relatives.

I came straight home from the reunion, put on my gardening clothes, and went to the garden to start the sprinkler. It ran for a little over two hours, until puddles formed. The ground is so dry that by the time I shut off the water and reeled the hoses onto the hose cart, the puddles had already soaked into the ground.
We'll need to do some serious weeding when the ground dries up enough for us to move around.

I am glad the 4th of July celebrations are over. Our neighborhood sounded like a war zone from all the folks shooting fireworks. They started blasting Friday evening and were still blasting Monday night at 10 p.m.
Enough, people!
