Stars

This is the fence I was 'decorating' yesterday. I decided that the red one which is about three times bigger than the largest of these, was too big and put it back where it was lurking on another fence behind an oleander. OilMan pointed out that there were two more stars on the door of his shed, a door I probably go through at least once a day in search of something. Just goes to show how quickly we take things for granted....I liked the shadows they cast in the evening sun.

OilMan and I have been watching Ken Burns' 'Vietnam' series. Another painful time in American history. Painful to watch even after all these years. Sometimes man's inhumanity to man and politics seem to go hand in hand. OilMan was in imminent danger of being drafted into a war we didn't believe in and didn't think we should be involved in. President Johnson concealed from us the full extent to which we were involved.There were no winners in that war.

Yet we don't seem to have learned anything from the whole experience and are now repeating it all over again....
