Fireworks Display

Tonight at the Iron Mountain Inn B&B in Butler, TN, we had a fireworks display courtesy of the gentlemen staying the chalet.

They are here to upgrade the cell phone towers to 4G - not sure which company, but maybe they will bring in a tower or two for ATT since we don't get any signal from that service.

I'd post a picture of the fireworks - they were magnificent mortars which echoed and reechoed around the mountains., but I dropped my Nikon and it has been sent in for repair.

The small particles from the boom rained down on the cars and people watching!  Like the patter of gentle rain.  We had had a rain storm last night so the forest was wet and the roof on the Inn is metal.  Hopefully we won't have any sparks to start a forest fire!  I never allow fireworks unless it has rained and the trees are wet.  But the smaller fireworks I set off have never created the "rain".

Guests at the Inn and I stayed here on this front porch.  The fireworks were set off inside an old horse watering trough since it was a more stable surface than the gravel of the driveway.  Once I did have some fireworks tip and people were running out of the way!  I learned and now everyone must stay on the porch!

Safety first!

We often do fireworks for proposals, weddings, anniversaries and "just because".  They are legal in Tennessee all year round, but I've never done any as big and loud as these!  WOW!
