I took some pictures of my yard and posted them on LiveJournal. 

Birdfeeding

Today is sunny and quite warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen doves, cardinals, house finches, and goldfinches.

I planted 2 of the 7 spots in the prairie garden with milkweed and butterflyweed.

I planted 3 more of the spots in the prairie garden, and am now out of the yellow butterflyweed.

EDIT 5/22/21 -- I cleared 3 spots in the prairie garden.

A nasturtium has sprouted in my barrel garden, recognizable by the round leaf.  :D

Community Building Tip: Tactical Urbanism

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

73. Create a community guide to tactical urbanism. Turning DIY projects into long-term additions can feel like a regulatory and zoning obstacle course. Officials in Burlington, Vermont, mindful of their citizen’s commitment to community projects, drafted a Tactical Urbanism and Demonstration Projects Guide, making it easier to launch neighborhood projects or organize small-scale interventions, and giving active citizens a green light to experiment.
