Three out of the four yards we normally mow each time have now been fully mowed and weedeated for the first time this season.
The fourth one isn't tall enough as that neighbor wants his to grow a bit taller each time before mowing.
Glad to have that done and to be back inside where it's nice and cool so I can rest and relax for the rest of the day before the work week starts again tomorrow.
There were thousands of people there. And I met some neighbors, who were walking to the protest as I was leaving my house, and stopped to introduce themselves.
Joe Neguse came and said we were the largest protest in his district. Fort Collins is only 170,000 people. What's up, Boulder?
Someone left a bag of books outside our little free library. In the rain. A little Little Free Library etiquette: if there isn’t room *in* the library for your bag of books, consider perhaps bringing *a few* of them back when the library has some shelf space, rather than leave your cubic foot of books to get soaked in the rain

The terrible circumstances around the deaths of Betsy Harakawa and her husband Gene Hackman is a sad reminder of the difficulty of being a caretaker and the risk of being isolated.
The fact that she died on February 11 and that no one noticed anything or checked up on them until February 26 is the most shocking thing to me.
Social isolation is a real issue that can have dire consequences.
Just took the pups out for a walk and one of the part-time residents in the building gave me a carton of eggs. He's heading back to his other residence in Florida.
He's a snowbird.
So that was nice.

Some of my neighbors bring me citrus and herbs they grow in their yards. I'm now able to return the favor since I started growing dill, cilantro, sage, rosemary. I might even have some figs, ginger and tomatoes to share. This sort of thing that makes a neighborhood better.
If you live in an apartment building and you have one of the following hobbies
- playing the piano or any woodwind, percussion or brass instrument,
- dances that require rhythmic foot stomping,
- carpentry and woodworking, or
- moving furniture for funsies,
please know that your neighbors hate you very much.
Some pretty eggs from the neighbors' chickens.
I have such a good community story today!
Someone posted in a neighborhood mailing list about a bag of cat food they were looking to pass on (their cats are fine, just decided they don't like that food anymore).
I offered to take it over to the rescue I volunteer with.
Turns out, they live in my building, have 3 gorgeous kitties, we exchanged contact info and now I have a new friend!

This is what it means to be a good neighbour. Our finest flying in Canadian Canadair CL-415 water bombers are doing non-stop runs filling up in the Santa Monica Bay to drop water on the Palisades fires. - Matt Austin

The #USA's racist #history says this 1933 scene in #Michigan is bad
But what's happening is good
A #bank has foreclosed on a #farmer and put their #farm up for #auction. #Neighbors have come to bid penny amounts to win the farm and return it
It was called a #pennyAuction
The nooses are a threat to high bidders. Others roam the crowd with axe handles
#CollectiveAction, #Community, #MutualAid
Against #financial #predation, #corporate #greed
We lost this as a country
Honestly my favorite #neighbors are my #homeless neighbors
