By the lake last summer

  

All these bushes have been removed. Sorry to lose the flowers as well as where birds sang to us. The dogwood trees are still there however. Apparently the bush removal was to deter thefts from cars in the parking lot.




Instead of a quote today, I am listing the organizations against gun violence. It was at the end of yesterday's post on my other blog...John Pavlovich's blog actually.

(Here are some organizations who are helping make this country safer. I am actively supporting two of them. It's the least I can do!)

Moms Demand Action
Everytown for Gun Safety
The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence
Violence Policy Center
Gabby Gifford’s Americans for Responsible Solutions

The Brady Campaign

    1. They may appear around another area which is still more wild.

  2. Hello,
    It is sad they removed the bushes, they could have been home to some small birds. I like the ducks and views of the lake. Take care, have a happy day!

    1. Part of efforts to curb people breaking into cars apparently. Can't argue with that. I should have mentioned it above.

    1. Yes, they were also red rose bushes. Unfortunately now is just grass, and Canada Geese poop!

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
