I experienced a big disappointment Wednesday when my front door was unexpectedly repainted, covering up all the graffiti that had given the block its character. You can read about it here.
Well, I had another surprise this morning when heading off to work:
For those keeping count, it took only 1.5 days for the taggers to take back their canvas. Vive le street!! ❂
Slice of Life is a daily writing challenge during the month of March hosted by Two Writing Teachers. Visit their blog for more information about the challenge and for advice and ideas about how to participate.
They are persistent … I guess it is easy to see graffiti as street art until it happens to the place you live and then perhaps perspective shifts … (or not)

You’re right, Kevin. Street art and tags totally depend on context. My neighborhood is FULL of them, so it was bizarre to NOT have them on our door anymore! Thanks for reading 🙂

ANNE, I LOVE READING YOUR DAILY TALES. I WISH I COULD BE THERE WITH YOU FOR JUST A FEW DAYS OR LONGER. DID YOU PHONE TURN UP? OR DID I MISS SOMETHING. IT WAS 80 THE OTHER DAY AND TODAY IT IS FREEZING COLD, IN 20’S THIS AM. CRAZY WINTER. ALL THE BULBS ARE BLOOMING, CHERRY TREES AND OTHER FLOWERS WHICH DON’T USUALLY APPEAR UNTIL MAY! EVEN SOME SNOW FLURRIES TODAY. KEEP WRITING….LOVE YOU.NANA
