it's a movement

On a recent bike outing to

Downtown Toledo, OH

with my man...

we tripped along this

intersection.

It looked so nice

that I made him stop.

Fresh paint...

clean...well maintained walks...

new plantings

the shops were closed...

it was Memorial Day.

Don't you love it when an area

of the city decides

to tidy things up...

take pride in their surroundings?

Give it a little

character?

Right down to the

parking meters!

Each meter along this strip

was decked out

in its own unique crocheted

wrap.

Fast forward to this weekend

where I share this finding

with my sisters.

Tina informs all

that there is

"a movement"

going on

where "they" are doing this.

No sooner out of our

mouths when...

It started popping up

everywhere.

Have you heard about

"the movement"?

Yeah...

that's right...

I'm asking you to do

my homework

for me

and to tell me

what it's all

about.

I'm loving it.

I am planning on dressing

one of my trees

soon.

My hope...

that when the hot days of

summer come to a close...

and autumn breezes blow...

all the tree and meter scarves

will be gathered together...

like an offering...

and given to  the people

who really need

them.

Maybe that IS the movement.

If not...

let's make it our

movement.

Are you with me?

Get hookin!
