Fourth of July


Happy Birthday, America!  Today's photo was captured at Merrymount Park.

Fun Fourth Facts:  Three American presidents died on July 4th and one president was born on this day. Do you know the 4 names?  The answers will appear in the "comment" section later today (after the fireworks).

Being at one time a Quincy kid I knew two right away.
Calvin Coolidge was born on the fourth.
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe all died on July 4th, Jefferson and John Adams on the same July 4th 1826, and Monroe 1931.
Interesting that the three that passed on that day were founding fathers also.

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
