It's What's Up...Thursday?I wanted to switch things up a little this week, since we’ve got a holiday weekend. Do you have any plans for Independence Day? The boys and I plan to swim at one of the state parks and have a cookout. Nothing fancy, just a little summer
fun. I plan to dig around a bit in the dirt, too, as nothing says independence like growing your own food. Whatever you have planned for this 4th of July weekend, I hope you have a fun and safe holiday, and I’ll see you on Sunday.  In the meantime, consider
grabbing your pruners for a second round of flower fireworks.
