Perry's day was awful yesterday -- but not nearly as bad as it was for others... One of his employees had a son that will never come home. Her 19 year-old was shot and killed in Louisville. Another employee offered to fill in for her but then his uncle died. The...
We've had so much rain within the last couple days I'm wondering if it will EVER stop. Leaves are upside down and the clouds look angry -- especially in a black & white photo. Plants loved all this rain in the beginning. We needed the rain. The corn field next to...
