This is Cricket, my friend Audrey’s dog.  What is she so mesmerized by?

IMG_1375Yes, it might be my carrot cake birthday cake–

Version 2 but, I think it was probably the candle !!!!

This candle was furnished by the bakery that made the cake.  My friend who brought it to me said it came with a warning not to lean over the cake while she lit it!  (This is what happens when you celebrate your birthday on the Fourth of July!!)  Thanks, Audrey.  It was the only fireworks i saw this Independence Day.  In Mexico, where fireworks are set off every day of the year for one purpose or another: fiestas, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, national holidays, Saints Days, elections, christenings, first communions, confirmations, church holidays, Day of the Dead–not one was set off for the Fourth of July!!!  (Well, except in my dining room.)

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      It was actually a firework–like a roman candle that didn’t shoot up into the sky or like a small flare. It was cool. I’d never seen one before. Trust Mexico to figure out another use for fireworks1

      Thanks, Jahnavi. I just received a birthday card 5 minutes ago and a friend is taking me out to celebrate tonight, so seems this is the birthday that just keeps giving! Judy
