The wonder of our world

Lay a blanket out with pillows under the starry sky! See how many constellations you can identify in the night sky!

If you’re lucky, you’ll see a shooting star!

We’re headed up to the top of a butte this year to watch fireworks, and we plan to gaze into wonder of the sky and beautiful world we’ve been given to enjoy. Of course, with a heart of gratitude, we give thanks.

Happy 4th of July week!
