Some one devised a game for the parents or children with parents who are out and about in this time of no-school-please-stay-at-home. The game is ‘Find the bears in the windows”. When you put a bear in the window, you register it with the Bear in the Window website stating where it is to be …

Unnoticed
Biked pass/under these two arrows a number of times. Never saw them. A walking friend brought them to my attention. One points toward a ‘city center route’ the other toward the ‘country-side’ take the latter with a grain of salt. Whatever these mean? No idea. Not a walker

Thought it was a nice, neighborly things to do. A bowl of chocolate eggs for the passerby out for a bit of air. A touch of goodwill and all those other positive vibs that come with the weekend of Easter. By chance sent this photo to a near-and-dear who immediately reacted. “And you are thinking …
