Some photos from Charleston WV today. Mom and I and an estimated 200 people marched 2 miles from the federal courthouse to the state capitol, and joined an estimated 2000 people at the rally there. Fewer people in the square due to the heat but the shade trees were standing room only.

Did a short term foster for a local shelter for this lovely senior dog. His favorite thing was snoozing on the porch while wrapped in a blanket. Shelters are still really full in a lot of places; please visit your local one if you feel like there is room in your life for a critter.
