~o:> In the hood

Just a few images.

My long-time neighbor and good, good friend, Jeri.  She keeps chickens and rides a Harley.  And watches over me.

Hard core Harley girl.

I tell her horses are better. She laughs.

Some terrible shots of some beautiful women, a poor portrait of LDS women, business as usual.  They are cheerfully helping a neighbor who lives about three blocks away from them clean her rental house as she leaves it.  I helped, but only a little (being useless).  I like to think I am at least entertaining, but these girls?  Powerhouses of kindness. You don’t see Hannah here – fourteen and showed up to help. Angel in training.

This is my concept of community—what these women stand for.  You see a need; you just run in there and pitch in, whether it’s taking care of a child or bringing in food, or stopping to drop a good word or embrace, or cleaning a dang house.

I want to be like them when I grow up.
