South Tabor Neighborhood

Community Gathering.  A Mural In A Day.  June 11, 2016

My neighborhood painted this amazing mural today.  I love it - so much color!  I didn't help paint, but I did volunteer to be the photographer.  Also, today, I was Zombie Tired.  The end of a long school year.  Two sick kiddos.  A husband looking for a new job.  A pishy cat.  A busy week. Organizing the packing for sleep away camp.  And, I got my period.  

I watched The Color Purple.  I love this movie.  I love Celie and Nettie so much.  I love Shug Avery.  I hate Mister.  I hate the rapist father.  I love that she finally gets away.  I love that she puts a knife to Mister's throat.  He totally deserved it.  This movie pains me, but there is also so much love.  The women.  Adam and Olivia.  Africa.  Nettie comes back.
