I still ...C, how cool that they are banned there! <br /><br />I still have many more California posts to go. I am slowly working through the photos and remembering the places one by one. It was a lovely trip and I am so happy I got to go. :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-55608262504821633862016-07-03T19:30:20.794-05:002016-07-03T19:30:20.794-05:00A, we have had rain every night this weekend so fa...A, we have had rain every night this weekend so far, which has helped us get through this weekend quietly. I sent out my annual email to the neighbors asking them to let me know if they plan to set off fireworks and adding my plug for not doing it at all. So far no one has contacted me.<br /><br />Here in NC there are classes of fireworks that are illegal for private residents - the ones that shoot up high in the air - so I have threatened to call the sheriff a few times when neighbors were using those. We also have noise ordinances so anything past 11 can be shut down too. But really, you'd think people would consider how disruptive it is in general and just not do it. <br /><br />billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-17222961651960770592016-07-03T18:01:12.816-05:002016-07-03T18:01:12.816-05:00I agree!

Not so with the neighbors by the farm, those idiots started last Friday night with firecrackers and ash cans. It was the first time Ginger heard them and she bolted for the door when I had her out for a potty break. She spent the rest of the night shivering in my lap. And then insisted on sleeping in the bed with me. I happened to be talking to the neighbor before this started and told her how much it upset the horses. She told me that "Well you better let J know so she can put them in!" Jerk. Not much you can do with people sometimes.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-26251365281528224952016-07-03T17:00:21.762-05:002016-07-03T17:00:21.762-05:00Thank goodness they made fireworks illegal (except...Thank goodness they made fireworks illegal (except municipal) here after someone's beach house caught fire. Not everyone complies, but it has helped. <br /> <br />Looks like you had a lovely visit to Cali - enjoyed those posts. :DCalm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.com
