Peace

Each year, in support of the United Nations International Day of Peace, Roots & Shoots members and friends come together to promote peace. All over the world, young people craft Giant Peace Dove Puppets from reused materials and fly the Doves in their communities. From the high peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro to the low plains of Kansas, Peace Doves fly, held high by hopeful hands.

We did this a few years back, but today we stayed home and had a lazy day. It couldn't have been more peaceful...the bell birds were singing all afternoon, the kids were subdued from their previous night's sleepovers, we skyped with family, and after eating leftover pizza and birthday cake we took an extended stroll through the neighborhood. That's how I came across this lily.

Peace.
