I am sure they will look quite colorful tomorrow.

Oh, yes! Great post & reminder. When we lived in Hochdorf in 1988, it rained on the day (after weeks of really nice, hot weather) and the village bonfire had to be helped with a lot of kerosene, but it was successful! I'm going to look for my pictures. Are you doing the paper lanterns with the canton logos with candles inside. I really liked those too.

PS. I posted a butterfly on my site (Thursday) - no open wings but at least it stood still for me. :)

Rain is what we have so far!!! Tash: the kerosene might have to be used here as well!

Oh, dear - rain. Not good! Is this less jingoistic than others. Ours is nearly impossible to tolerate - it brings out a very low form of what is known as "mateship". No bonfired (its in the middle of our tinder-dry summer)but lots of electric barbies.
