SUMMER

Last week I took a drive to Owensboro. 
I love it there. 
The area had been hit by several hard storms 
in the past few weeks. 
I saw many downed trees 
and damaged buildings. 
As I saw the huge broken and splintered trees, 
I realized that this is nothing new to the area. 
I guess I thought that it would be disaster, 
but it wasn't. 
The trees were being cut and hauled, 
the buildings were tarped and being repaired. 
I was in awe at how the damage was
 part of the cycle of life so to speak.  
There was a convertible going down 
highway 56, the picture of a Sunday drive. 
And as I drove, I once again fell in love with summer in Kentucky.
