YEA! Fun with the past!! Two earlier times on February 17, and one shout-out to Nik, who is 23 today, and to Sarah who is also having a birthday!!!! Can't wait to share these photos on this rainy day.
FEBRUARY 17, 2009
Location: Frankfort, Kentucky (our state capital)
Occasion: A demonstration organized by Kentuckians for the Commonwealth (KFTC) against the destructive practice of getting coal out by mountaintop removal..... This practice still happens today, but with more scrutiny. Still, residents continue to pay the price of not having reliable clean water, of increased illness from the dust in the air, and from the destruction of the habitat our lives depend on. In 2019 KFTC continues its advocacy for a better Kentucky. Bravo!

| George Ella and Kate, singing for the crowd, on the steps of the capital |

| Ashley Judd also joined us that day, with her usual eloquence and directness. . |
NOW on to 2015, when we had a major bit of snow. In fact, for here, it was a memorable week of winter weather. However, I have chosen photos only from the 17th,,,,
