Kiss and Go

What a great sign. And what a great way to see your kids off to Smith Elementary . . . kiss and go. This sign was mentioned to me so, of course, I worked it into my travels one day recently to get a shot for The Ville. But then something else caught my attention. Pinwheels for peace.

On the front lawn of the school is a huge collection of pinwheels attached to pencils, stuck in the ground, spinning in the breeze. This picture hardly does justice to the number of pinwheels, the colors, and even the sense of well-being such a simple gesture gave me.

I'm not sure how long the pinwheels will last, especially with our fall weather heading this way, but hopefully this project by the students will stick with them for a long time to come.
