    One vote for the most clever summer item so far goes to Grandin Road’s Outdoor Half-Umbrella.

      This portable patio awning offers an easy solution for setting up shade just about anywhere, even places with minimal space: over a door or window, along a wall or on a small apartment balcony.

    The base stands flush against any vertical surface (translation: no fussy installation), and opening and closing are done with a simple turn of a crank.

    The umbrella is $299, the base $99.

    Available colors are antique beige, ivory, citron (green), kona (brown), neptune (blue) and paprika (red). See grandinroad.com for more details.

    With a little driving, it's possible to attend fireworks displays on three consecutive nights this holiday weekend. How many such shows is enough for you?
    One such show per year is enough for me
    Two displays would make for a fabulous 4th
    Three would be a pyrotechnic dream come true
    I have no interest in fighting the crowds to get a stiff neck
