There are some gorgeous gardens in Saugatuck. This store on the corner of Water and Mason has one of my favorite gardens.

Saugatuck has several parades throughout the year, including the 4th of July. The harbor of New York City might have the original Lady Liberty but I think we have a mighty fine version. Rumor has it this fine lady is approaching her 9th decade - we should all be so lucky to live (and look!!) like this.
The day was HOT and there wasn't a cloud in the sky - perfect parade weather. The man on the bike was spritzing off the crowds - hopefully with water.
