I think Dolly was the single most influential woman in the history of country music. She learned that the entertainment business was indeed a business and she became a very smart business woman.
Heaven is a little richer and earth is a lot poorer at the passing of one of the world’s most gracious ladies, who in spite of the fame and wealth she earned, never forgot the hunger and poverty of her childhood. c.a.
The first hummingbird photo is an award winner. Dolly Parton, we will miss you so much. Each passing hour I learn more about the charitable work she did. I also learned today that the son of the doctor who delivered her lives an hour from where I live in New York State and that Dolly wrote a song about this doctor, who served his mountain community well. The son went on to teach at a state university in Oneonta, New York. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
The news about Dolly was a gut punch. Unexpected to me. And from 71, 80 doesn’t seem all that old any longer. What a treasure she was. Not only a nice person but from what I read, a very good businesswoman. She kept the publishing rights on all her songs even though it cost her when she started out. Something that Elvis and Willie Nelson couldn’t do.
I will be 80 in November. I have reached the age when, nearly every event I go to, I will be the oldest one entering the room. God has blessed me with better health than I deserve and walked me through some difficult days. I know that I have far more days in my rear view mirror than in my windshield, but I still look forward to whatever future He has planned for me.
The hummingbirds will fight over the feeders.
Rest in peace, Ms. Dolly.

The litter critters are very territorial. The ruby throated ones seem to be the most defensive.
