Words and Feathers 
Are you telling me – albeit beautifully – that my face is on fire?
Ha ha ha! I was going for illuminated but burning is one interpretation. 😀
Sounds like you had fun on the 4th! Too bad you didn’t catch a whiff of gasoline 😀
YES! This is one of the BEST things you’ve EVER written! You use so many words I want to STEAL and EAT! I love this! Superb. Worthy of anything and everything. I am officially the green with envy firework. Loved it!
