Community Building Tip: Civic Canvases

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

23. Turn utility boxes into civic canvases. In Philadelphia’s Washington Square West neighborhood, industrial metal utility boxes line the streets. Instead of seeing them as a mandatory, unusable part of the landscape, a group of local art students wrapped them in colorful artwork. This simple, striking beautification project, co-funded by the University of the Arts and Washington Square West Civic Association, turned more than a dozen aesthetic afterthoughts into colorful neighborhood symbols.

Birdfeeding

Today is partly cloudy, a little warm and muggy.

I fed the birds.

We cut and broke up brush in the ritual meadow. 

EDIT 5/16/20 -- Round Two, I broke up 2 piles of brush from the ritual meadow.

EDIT 5/16/20 -- Round Three, I broke up 2 more piles of brush, so now there's just one left.

I've seen a couple of toads today.  The first poppy is blooming.  :D  Iris have buds.

EDIT 5/16/20 -- my_partner_doug  went out and cut up the last pile of brush.  Later, I threw it on the big brush pile, so now the ritual meadow is clear.

As it is starting to rain, I am done for the night.
