Good Fences make good Pastures Driving by I spotted this fence and had to get a photo. The sheep are waaay over on the other side, but if you look carefully there is a tall shepherd's lookout in the back of the pasture.  Sharing with Good Fences Sundays in my city

Court of Honor for Eagle Scout Kyle Willis Less than 7% of all Scouts attain the highest rank of Eagle.  When a Scout completes all the requirements a Court of Honor is held to award him this rank.   Members of troop 75 in North Carolina  Saluting the American Flag during the pledge Lighting of the candles and reciting the Scouts Law  Kyles former Scout Leader Stan La Perriere conducting the ceremony  Pinning the newest Eagle Scout  Pinning his mom and dad is a vow to rededicate himself to living the Scouts Oath.
