Hate has no home here…

And a happy Monday to all. I took a long walk in the morning beauty this morning but unlike many mornings I had an itinerary in mind. I wanted to see firsthand the response of the people of St. Marks Capitol Hill to an act of hatred in this peaceful courtyard (a noose was hung from one of the trees recently, apparently a far too often act in DC).

Most days I walked alone, but on weekends, we tried to walk as a household. Joy couldn't believe her good luck, because, up until now, I would have been going to the gym instead. A walk with the three of us was, for her, very exciting. All we could think about though was keep moving, get out of the house. The answer to the question "where"…
