A Neighborly Haiku
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
The prompt this week is "Neighbor", GO!
I saw the prompt and it was fairly obvious what the "slant" of my post should be. Be a good neighbor, especially in the wake of the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. It left a path of destruction from TX, through TN (where I live) and even out to the east coast. I've watched much of it on . . .

A Five Minute Friday Challenge
This week's prompt is: Inspire - GO!
