french fireworks

Yesterday we went to fireworks at a nearby village after having a yummy crepe dinner. There were lights strewn in the trees and a little band. The moon was a fat sliver of a smile that at the end of the night had turned a glowing bright yellow. The sky was a sapphire blue color and the vineyards and fields were vast and quiet. I thought the fireworks were amazing! Maybe not quite up to the fourth of July ones at home, but really pretty. They had lots of my favorite kind; the ones that explode in color and then leave the gold sparkling embers to float down and disappear. Some of them made the sky look like a black surface of water as they trailed higher and higher like a glittering firefly. We even saw a glow worm! I didn't know they glowed so bright or so green! It was just like the ones in James and the Giant Peach!
When the band was playing there were some kids nearby dancing trying to dance. It was hilarious. They were so uncoordinated! hahaha
It was a magical night and one that sadly we didn't bring our cameras for! Mine was dead and Ruby thought we were just going out in the yard.
Oh well,
HAPPY BASTILLE DAY!
