Hope, Despair, And Everything Else

A judge in Monroe County, down in the Keys, gave a decision today saying that Florida's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
This is a start. It will only cover Monroe County (which is where Key West is and there you go!) and of course, our State Attorney General, Ms. Pam Bondi, has already filed an appeal. She believes in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman and so very deeply that she's already had two husbands and two divorces and is about to marry a third man.

Anyway, so it begins.

There are more cases in the state pending judgement and eventually the inevitable will happen and our state will be a state where there will be equal rights under the law for people to marry whomever they love.

Can't happen soon enough for me.

It's been a good day overall. I spent most of it outdoors, cleaning up the yard, cleaning the hen house, doing a bit of weeding in the garden. I don't understand this whole Malaysian plane situation except to know that a lot of people are tragically dead. The fighting in the middle east continues. Israelis and Palestinians are killing each other. I am sick unto death of hearing about war and its casualties. I grow so weary at the constancy of it. We are a demented and warlike species and that is all there is to it.

Here.

A flower, a chicken, a cat, some eggs. 

I'm baking sweet potatoes. My husband is home. There is love here, there is peace, there is plenty.

How I wish it were so everywhere.
