I am sure by now you all know what happened in our school district yesterday. I am blessed that my own children are younger, and while my son goes to Middle School his involvement was limited to a minor inconvenience. And so yesterday was a surreal experience of watching video of my neighborhood plastered across the national news.

Hope you enjoy some of the pictures I have taken of Murrysville. Murrysville is where the suburbs give way to winding sun-dappled rural roads lined with black-eyed susans, daisies and honeysuckle.
