Church Pot



I filled the abandoned pot by the back door of our church with plants in the spring because it looked forlorn. With help from staff who are watering it, it has thrived.

Flying Monkey




This is our flying monkey at work. He actually is a slingshot. You put your fingertips in pockets on his hands and pull his tail and he yells something and shoots across the room. He turned up following the rummage sale.

A Purple Something




I see this plant everywhere right now. I thought it was lavender but when I crushed the leaves, there was no fragrance. Hmmm.

Menorah from Pipe

Interesting Menorah made of pipe painted gold with lightbulbs as candle flames. Haven't passed it at night so don't know if it lights up. This is in front of the Chabad house Center of Kansas City, which houses a preschool, Kosher food pantry and Hebrew school. It's on the site of the old Indian Creek pool.

New form of TPing

A new take on the age-old activity of TP'ing a house. Nothing to indicate that it was a 50th birthday or something but that would be my guess.
