That sounds very nice and serene, Mama. I would say that huckleberry picking is a good outlet for stopping to smell the roses in this crazy world we must live in.
For the life of me I cannot understand how our government and laws permit people to set foot on our land and release them back onto it when they have been apprehended for reasonable cause, are here illegally and there is no hurry to deport them. In many cases they melt back into our society and are never heard from again. We have no handle on people who defy our immigration laws (and even commit crimes against us). It defies all logic. Our lawmakers have failed us in so many ways, and ultimately will be responsible for what happens to us in the long run. They are capable of so much more.
