Good mornin’ 🙂
Sunshine for the first time since Saturdy!

Welcome Mary Miller and Pauline Canterbury back to the mountains.

Last week, they got back from a 10-day trip to Texas, working to promote the Clean Water Protection Act, which would stop mountaintop removal.
Nearly 80 years old, lifetime WV residents, and not afraid to talk to any face they met in the heat of Texas. Thank you ladies!
