I’ve wanted to share some joy and love in my neighborhood. But I wasn’t sure how. A few weeks ago, I had the idea to put some pinwheels out in front of my house. After hearing how much kids liked them, I decided to purchase some to give away. So this went out on the fence around my front yard. Within the first hour of putting out the vase of pinwheels, three different families came by and took pinwheels home with them. And I still have plenty more. Hang in there, friends! Spread beauty and joy from where you are! (But please don't take my vase!)
