Coming From Where I’m From . . .

Everywhere I go the roses are in full bloom. The funny thing is that until recently, I’ve never noticed all of the rose bushes around me. I must say I appreciate it. Lavender and Fuschia make for a lovely color combo.

I do not live in, or own the home above, but as a “shorty” I walked past it everyday, minus the landscaping. It’s amazing what a little bit of landscaping can do. I was in the neighorhood (*North Minneapolis) this weekend. I had to snap a pic.

But just as there are rosebud and perriwinkle covered cottages - There are also predators, sharks and all around slime balls on the loose - in the hood. The sign says it all. Which is yet another reason why I don’t want you (men) rolling up on me with your vehicle. ( *South Minneapolis).
