And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

S
It's mid summer here and the good earth is doing what it always should do at this time of the year - be fruitful! It looks like the vintners should get a good crop of grapes to make their wine, and I will get a nice tree full of apples to make sauce, or what ever I get time to create. The foxes have also been multiplying, as we have two that are living nearby and bark their hoarse bark every night. Saw one in the field across from us Sunday evening just before dark. We have to leave the dogs out at night to keep them away from the chickens. Not, I must say, the typical suburban life.
