Very Rare Bowling Ball Snake

Cool Painting on Signal Box,
But the rectangles a labels, not art

Indecisive Sign, or
Lollypop Marketing?

Love This Garage!

Coffee and Preparation

 

Near the end of today's walk, we stopped by C&P for a round of mochas or whatever, where we saw this sign.

Their outdoor seating is quite nice!

On the way home, I delivered the last of the food collected Friday, starting with the Little Free next to Beveridge Place. Technically it may not be a Pantry, but I'm confident there are homeless people around there so they won't go to waste.

I stopped by some of the usual locations and my previous contributions were gone, so I think we're establishing a pattern.

Izzy replied to my email asking if he were available for work on My Palatial Estate. It is hard for me to ask for help on things that I could, in theory, do myself - but it's been 10 years, if it has not been done yet, it will not be done; also I need to spend that pandemic money to keep the economy going!

He'll be by tomorrow to look at projects. I sent him an email with ideas, and did a little prep work around the back.

Delivery Food Sunday

Myrtle Park Slide

Friday I got an extra load of food to distribute over the weekend and on Monday, MLK Jr holiday and national day of service. Today I started by walking up to 9th - finding the stuff I'd left there gone, and reloading it - and then walked to the Dog Park to distribute plastic bags for the doggies. While there I noticed a "chutes-and-ladders" style slide on the hillside apparently not quite done yet.

After a shower, my next task was to distribute at least one box of food to the northern group of Little Free Pantries. That took a while but I was happy to see that there were not many items that I'd left yesterday still there. Someone must be eating!

I got home in time for a brief nap before the 2pm zoom meeting about composting. TBH I did not learn much that I didn't already know but Grace is so earnest about helping Camp Second Chance and seems to know a lot about that project that I do not, that I felt obliged to be there and provide support. It ended just in time to start the cooking project with Hannah and Julie. They put a lot more work into their cooking than I am accustomed to, but I must admit the results were nice.
