Yes, the angles, the colors and the shadows are soothing but the impersonation of an Easter Island Statue being silently performed by the mid-picture tree is quite impressive, also. - Billy Joe Fudge

Carol Perkins: The peril of going barefoot on the deck

Heeding the urgent call of buttercups blossoms, the author made a dangerous decision, drawn by the prospect of picking buttercups blooming next to the deck. Story is one all seniors should read - it can happen to anyone. But story ends in delightful cure for getting more calcium in diet.
The next earlier Carol Perkins column: The story of our fridges

By Carol Perkins

I had taken a break from the computer, poured myself a cup of coffee, and looked out the kitchen window at the buttercups blooming next to the deck. I debated whether or not to put on my shoes before going out to pick a few, preferring to go barefoot in the house rather than wear shoes or socks like "normal" people, Guy might say. My tennis shoes were inside the back door, but I told myself that putting them on would take more time than tiptoeing across the deck in my bare feet to pick the flowers, so I left them where they were. That might have been my biggest mistake.

By Wendy Burt

Imagine twilight on a lovely Summer night. Picture sitting on a front porch, a warm and gentle breeze is blowing and acrobatic bats are swooping and gobbling masses of flying insects. Bats can eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes in an hour -- often consuming their body weight in insects every night.

Unfortunately, here in Kentucky, there are fewer and fewer bats every year due to habitat loss, pesticides, and, most importantly, white-nose Syndrome (WNS) -- a fungal disease that has killed millions of bats in North America since it was first discovered in a single cave in New York in 2007.
