For 180 days the school bus has picked up and
dropped off our neighborhood,
elementary school students.
There are about 14 students
who line up to get on board.
All this takes place in our backyard.
The bus stops right behind our fence.
Everyday!
I love it.
Today, was the last day of school.
I had to do something for the students to
help them celebrate.
We always have chalk around, for our grand kids.
I raced out the back gate and began to draw and write.
I left pieces of chalk on the cement,
so they could add their art work.
Here I am busy at work.
Then the kids started to come, one by one.
I hurried back into our yard and closed the gate.
I peeked out a knot hole in our fence and
took a picture.
This little girl got busy adding to the
sidewalk chalk artwork.
Ooops!
Here's the bus!
When the coast was clear and the bus was far down the road,
I went out the gate to see what
was drawn.
HEARTS !
She's a heart girl, just like me.
Happy Last Day !

This reminds me of when you used to work for a school. You have always had a heart for kids. What a wonderful thing to do for them. Too bad they didn't have more time. I can imagine what your sidewalk would have looked like. Happy last day of school!
