Community Building Tip: Bike Parking

For my current set of tips, I'm using the list "101 Small Ways You Can Improve Your City."

6. Add additional bike parking. While artful racks and bikeshare stations are sprouting up everywhere, popular roadways and sidewalks can still become overcrowded with riders angling to anchor a U-Lock. Small businesses can help make a difference by placing some DIY rackspace out front to make the parking situation more bearable. Here are some creative solutions.

Squirrel!

Currently we have a bobtailed squirrel in our yard, who has been around for a few months.  I gather the long end was lost to some predator, so this is a survivor of a great escape.  :D  I saw the bobtailed squirrel on the hopper feeder when I went out to get my cup of tea. 

Maple Vinegar: Achieved!

Last night I mentioned coveting maple vinegar.

This morning a bottle of it was tucked amongst my breakfast things for me to discover.

Who needs Santa?  :D  I have an awesome  partner.  <3

Birdfeeding

I fed the birds today and walked around the yard.  I found a patch of rabbit fur where some predator got lucky -- a hawk perhaps, as there was only fur and they often pick off the fur before eating.  Also I saw that some of the iris shoots have been nibbled, though not eaten entirely.
