Happy 4TH

Our neighborhood Eagle about 50 feet from my back porch , sits on this branch quite often .

Likewise.

Weather piss poor today, so as wanna be Americans we will celebrate at a later date where it is more easy to get in and maintain the mood.

It is the thought & attitude that that count.
So for me it is being with like minded people, and chilling out, what we Danes call Hygge.

In both Danish and Norwegian, hygge refers to "a form of everyday togetherness", "a pleasant and highly valued everyday experience of safety, equality, personal wholeness and a spontaneous social flow"

The noun hygge includes something nice, cozy, safe and known, referring to a psychological state.
The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen has studied the positive effect of hygge on Danish society.

Collins English Dictionary defines the word as "a concept, originating in Denmark, of creating cosy and convivial atmospheres that promote wellbeing


BTW the Danish national bird, as big as its American Cousin, but it is a more mellow fellow.
