Good morning!!

Coming to you from my bed this morning! I think we are headed back to the lake today. The girls said last night that they really want to go back today. That is fine with me...they had sooo much fun.

One of my co-workers is having a cookout, but I don't know that I want to go with the kids. They tend to be shy around those crazy women I work with. I will give them the option. I bet they pick the lake. More relaxing anyway.

Okay so I need a topic to blog on this morning...hmmm...Okay, I found THISarticle. Basically, because of the lack of funds many of our wildlife refuges are falling to drug dealers who are growing marijuana and making meth in them.

The lake we go to is actually at a state park. I am a firm believer in supporting the state parks. I cannot imagine our world without the serene, natural places we enjoy so much. Yesterday while driving out of Lake Anna we saw a baby deer. It was just like Bambi for crying out loud! The girls got all excited, shoot, I got all excited. There was a park ranger behind us, and he stopped and checked on the deer. I am guessing because it was wandering around the street, and this fawn was YOUNG! No Mom anywhere in sight. Of course, I thought the worst...but I have no idea.

Being able to co-exist with nature is a goal that humanity needs to make better strides towards. There is so much natural beauty in this world, that we can enjoy if we just take care of it. I know I know, I own an SUV...well you know what, it's a small one darn it! I would actually like to trade it in on something more eco-friendly, but it is also PAID FOR, and that makes it also very wallet friendly...lol.

I don't know, it seems very sad that our parks and wildlife refuges are falling to drug dealers. It's hard enough to drive them off the city streets, and now they are invading the wildlife areas as well. JUST SAY NO, people....
