On guns

Today I heard that the Supreme Court upheld the individual's right to carry a gun for self-defense and protection. Yesterday a person in Henderson, Kentucky, shot and killed five people at the Atlantis Plastics plant, then killed himself. The news was so "ho-hum" that our regional news didn't even report it.

In our county, people just get drunk and shoot their television sets. Why can't everyone else be as civilized?

Summer Fun


Twelve baby kittens at the farm
Hollyhock dolls
Wading in a sand-bottomed creek
Firefly catching
Goldfish swimming in the water garden
Mud puddle splashing
Bicycling through a walnut grove
Snails, pillbugs, and butterflies
Sandwiches at a playground
Water sprayed from a hose
Following trails in the state park
Fishing at sunset
. . .Summer Fun!
