 Here is a picture Fred took earlier today of our really old apple tree.  It looks like we'll have plenty of apples this year!  He also took a picture (below) on our way to Danville this morning.  You can see it hasn't been a very pretty day here, and we're going to have a really chilly night tonight, in the low 40s, according to the forecast.

The sun came out for just a few minutes this afternoon, and as if on cue, one of the turkeys showed up again.  I guess we're their afternoon destination.  I saw only one, so I'm really thinking maybe there's a nest somewhere close by and the other one was taking care of the eggs.  This one seemed to be enjoying the sun.  Check out this very short slide show - TURKEY

Here's information on the Cabot Library Summer Reading Program.  You'll need to click on the images to make them large enough to read, and there are two pages, as you can see.

The Cabot community is shocked and saddened by the accidental shooting death of young Logan Cookson on Saturday.  The family only moved to Cabot a short time ago, and when they first arrived in town, they lived in the house next door to the Historical Society building, so I had a chance to meet Logan and his dad and brother last year.  The boys were very interested in the items we had on display and asked lots of questions.  Shortly after I met them, the family moved out of the village to a home they had purchased from a relative, and Mr. Cookson told me he had always dreamed of raising his boys there.  The Caledonian Record reported today the 10-year-old "accidentally shot himself with a .22 caliber revolver."  Such a tragedy for a young family to endure.  My heart aches for them.
