I love this idea.
“Jane’s Walk is a weekend festival of free neighbourhood walking tours given by locals who care passionately about where they live, work and play. Jane’s Walk is a pedestrian-focused event that improves urban literacy by offering insights into local history, planning, design, and civic engagement through the simple act of walking and observing.”
Check out the walk schedule for Ottawa. It looks like it’s only offered Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3, 2009.
The Central Experimental Farm walkabout looks particularly interesting.
… am I right or am I right? ;)
Having my own laptop lawn is deeply satisfying.
This is: potting soil, grass seeds, and a glass pie dish.
This is spring grass. It’s green, so green. The stalks are very slender and bright. It smells fresh. It’s a reminder of things that make me happy.
It’s been growing for a couple of weeks. Today might be the day I give it a trim with the kitchen scissors. Oh, I love the smell of freshly cut grass.
Sarah just ran into the house. She was so out of breath she could hardly get the words out.
“MUM, quick! I need the red blanket and the bunny blanket!”
“Sure, but what are they for?”
“WE’RE HIBERNATING!”

See, I told ya that blankets are The Best Toy Ever.
