4 th Of July Flowerworks !!!

Today is the United States of Americas' official Birthday! The day we celebrate our freedom!
Freedom to live our lives to the fullest in the way we choose! I am proud to be an American!!
Thankful to have the freedom live on a farm and raise beef I know has not been injected with antibiotics and growth hormones, vegetables with no pesticides. The freedom to grow and enjoy flowers of every color and shape. The freedom to browse the blogworld and enjoy all the wonderful creativity of not only my fellow Americans, but that of friends from around the world!
America has come along way in 233 years and still has a ways to go before the Declaration of Independence is truly a piece of paper that speaks the truth, a nation where ALL people are created and treated as equals! Instead of a fireworks display, I offer you a colorful display of flowers from Swiftwater Farm!
