There will be events that bring fireworks over Onondaga Lake.

My dear wife Karen and I were wondering how far we’d have to wander from the property around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville to see them.

Not bad, we’ve discovered, this perk in our first summer since moving from the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood.

From Onondaga Lake Park

Karen was out of the house at the first boom, and I had to go find her. A couple of neighbors were in the parking lot of the Town of Salina Offices across the street, watching from there. They told me that she-went-that-away.

I found her behind the building, with a good spot by the guard rail that protected folks from tumbling down the steep hill.

We liked it.

We watched them all.

Happy July Fourth, my American friends.

Behind the Offices.

May you find your fireworks.
