Irving School Part 2: A Splash of Color

MJ and I have been neighbors since our boys were toddlers.  We became acquainted because our sons are six weeks apart, and over the years that acquaintance has turned into a good friendship based on mutual admiration.  MJ can't believe the meals I put together for my family; I'm in awe over her artistic creativity.

Yesterday she coordinated the human green project on the school playground. Today we once again witnessed her ingenuity. MJ coordinated with Ms. Linne, Irving's art teacher, who worked with the students to produce this gorgeous pattern along the chain link fence that borders the school. Students cut apart water bottles, painted them, and then secured them to the fence with pipe cleaners and yarn. A beautiful, playful wave of spring color now graces what is otherwise a dreary stretch of gray.

Drew found one of the flowers he worked on and posed by it for me.




Thanks, MJ, for generously giving to our community!
