That light fixture is now gone, sadly.

Only a few more hours left before the school bell rings and it's back to reading, writing, and To Kill a Mockingbird. I still love that book. It still makes me cry. In Chapter 9, Scout overhears Atticus talking to Uncle Jack about the Tom Robinson case, and she realizes much later that Atticus intended for her to overhear. That just catches me in the throat every single time. Why is that? How did Harper Lee do that so nicely?
