I can see his head even now, turning left and right as he sat there on the road.<br /><br />I delve too much into the state of affairs sometimes I think and it affects me greatly, I do feel the emphathy.<br /><br />I like to point out the state of affairs on my blog occasionally because I think the human condition is important.<br /><br />Hi Elizabeth, thanks so much, I love photography and after reading your most recent post I'm sorry I didn't get a photo of the woman who made the bird houses and the man who sells the fish. I'll go back again and hopefully can catch them with their work. The woman was so proud of her bird houses and the man so proud to be selling his fish, their love of what they are doing so strong - there was great beauty in both people.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-48571875673922974102011-11-29T00:27:58.204-05:002011-11-29T00:27:58.204-05:00It was great taking this tour with you.

Bittersweet but a small glimmer of hope for sure.<br /><br />Hi Rubye, thanks, the birdhouses were $3o each and well worth the artistic way they were constructed. I have to say I have never seen any like them before. If we run out of things to sell at the flea markets this week we will go back and if so I will let you know.<br /><br />Hi Smartcat, thanks, no we don't value our elders any longer, in fact much of human life isn't valued like it used to be hopefully those with kind hearts will keep perservering and win over those with the cold hearts. The woman with the bird houses and the man selling the fish were just such people, well above retirement age for both of them.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-70727398922534384382011-11-27T18:37:21.989-05:002011-11-27T18:37:21.989-05:00Lots of food for thought today.

That guy with $1200 in permits for the side of the road just got me how the government has it's hand out for every little thing especially since we just paid our house taxes and our house value went down, but our taxes went up - how can that be.

Ha. The bird houses were thirty dollars and quite large. The woman mentioned to Gary she would sell them to him wholesale if he wanted to take them to the flea market to sell, but he told me when were half way home, too late to make a deal with her. Darn.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, yes I often think about these things too. We see so many folks selling stuff in their garage sales or alongside the road and so many boarded up houses it is truly said, and we see those still trying to make a living. Those who have no resources, skills, health, or otherwise are not seen, that's even sadder to think about.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-46192674132452068052011-11-27T06:02:36.707-05:002011-11-27T06:02:36.707-05:00The plight of the elderly often makes the heart he...The plight of the elderly often makes the heart heavy. The self employed do not have the social security cushion. At least both have found a way to keep going. <br />I worry what they will do when their health no longer lets them even do what they are now doing. <br />Quite sad.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-87217341154051936352011-11-27T05:59:50.573-05:002011-11-27T05:59:50.573-05:00great mix of birds in that last photo.
