I commend those of you who take the time to take pictures and post. Having said that I am not a all about fluff kind of person. I like a good debate from time to time as well as gardening, cooking and decorating my home. I appreciate that you have the courage to speak your mind and agree with many of your concerns. This world is not all about how someone decorates their home and how many sets of dishes you own. These are turbulent times we are living in. I pray my children and grand children live to see a more peaceful world with cures for the horrific diseases we are seeing pop up and spread without an end to it in sight. But I will also continue to follow your blog as long as you continue to post.

I will say this ...I come to blogs like yours for a hug, a place of refuse from all the horrible things I hear and read about. A wonderful place of how I would hope the world would be. Well aware that this will never happen.

It is a sad, sad world when corporations are lording it over citizens - grabbing money for free (many have farms that they never set foot on, just so they can receive government welfare (subsidies) for "being a farmer", as they run small farmers out of business for the sole reason of getting millions more in corporate welfare - while denying children food (and the children are not to blame for their situation). It pains my heart and soul to see the unkindness perpetuated on children and their families because someone has the good fortune to have enough money to survive, while declaring that if you don't make enough money then you are a morally bad person and we should starve you to death - but wait - we must first make sure that you are born into a family that can't afford you - but then when you are born, turn our backs on you. Shame on us - for allowing this all (all above things) to happen and then for many to rejoice when there is suffering in families that are not exactly like ours - because God knows - those that are not like us are useless and of no value (well, we can keep them uneducated and then send them off to die in fake wars - so corporations and friends of ex-presidents can make millions - is that what we now call moral? Shame on us.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-67618563967682559162014-08-21T06:38:26.557-07:002014-08-21T06:38:26.557-07:00Bravo!

It is time to speak up - to voice concerns and opinions as it seems we've lost that ability in this country (as you illustrated in your 'hope not to lose readers') I find it refreshing that a blogger is not one dimensional with a sole focus. Bring it on!
