The Pinwheels

 Did you know that April is Child Abuse Prevention month? The symbol for this is displaying blue pinwheels. There are several places around town that usually do this.




Better to wear a concrete vest and take a swim with the fishes than give even one of these dear little ones a hard time!

What a great idea! Have't seen any n our area or in our travels. Will have to do a bit of research when we retry home.

I hadn't known that. It's a good idea, but too bad it's needed.

No, I didn't know that. For some reason though, I don't think I would associate a blue pinwheel with that.

The Luke verse is very special. Children are special little people, indeed.

I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for letting me know. The verse is very powerful. Since seeing your photos of blue pinwheels, I will always remember what they are for. Makes me sad for those children out there who don’t get the love we give our own kids.
