I attended a meeting at the old TPS School


I attended a meeting that was housed in the old Tennessee Preparatory School. Now the campus, near the Intersection of Foster Ave and Mufreesboro Pike in Nashville, houses the Department of Safety, the State Department of Education (TPS Complex), and the Nashville High School for the Arts.

Before the meeting, I walked around to see the history. The enrollment consisted of children of parents were deceased, infirmed, or unable to care for them. In the late 60's and early 70 the complex housed over 600 students.

It was a facinating place to tour while attending a meeting.

Here is a picture of a Hummingbird at my backyard feeder. Bird watching is a hobby of mine. Presently I am getting three colors of Hummingbirds and a lot of Canary Finches. I find that watching birds is akin to a spiritual event. It is nothing short of amazing to watch a hummingbird at a feeder.
