Weeds are just plants out of place (as they say). I know how you feel, weeds!

“All who wander are not lost.”

But it wasn’t!!! 🤸‍♂️🚴‍♀️

From an article in #FastCompany about #coronavírus. My departure date for the #PeaceCorps is June 2. 🤞

32 degrees? No problem! Not too cold for #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike today! I grew up in New York. The cold makes me feel like a kid again 🤸‍♂️ (I draw the line at about 20 degrees, however.)

Today I got to road-test my new ☔️ poncho ($15; it stores itself in its pocket pouch; and it converts into a tent if needed!), to get ready for the rains down in Africa.

If you’ve enjoyed my past few photos about David Skoke and Helping Feed Atlanta (which turns 8 years old this week!), see helpingfeedatlanta.wordpress.com for more info, including list of partners and clients, media coverage, and how to donate!!! #helpingfeedatlanta

You know those strawberry packages you reject at Whole Foods and Costco because of one rotten berry? That’s the kind of otherwise-perfectly-edible stuff #HelpingFeedAtlanta rescues and redirects to groups serving those in need. So keep rejecting them!

First drop off today of a thousand pounds of gorgeous rescued food at Fugees Academy (school exclusively for child refugees-of-war). The chef is always so excited to see what arrives from #HelpingFeedAtlanta, and the kids are so helpful unloading.

I got to help rescue food today with my friend David Skoke, founder of #helpingfeedatlanta 🤸‍♂️ (That van — which was painted by a group of developmentally-challenged adults, by the way — was full by the time we finished our pickups!)

No better place on a snowy day . . .

Snowmen. Sleds. The kids in the neighborhood were ON it. Atlanta’s annual 2 hours of winter is like Ray Bradbury’s astounding short story All Summer in a Day — every minute rare and precious.

Kids. Playing. Outdoors. #streetphotography

I love #publictransportation

And that’s that. My job here is done. It’s time to go home.

This woman is dressed to the nines every time I see her arrive at dialysis, and she looks like she’s hang gliding when she gets off that paratransit bus. #YouGoGirl #streetphotography

A lot to think about today . . .

Biodegradable urn can be tossed right into the ocean! (Note: you may only spread ashes legally in international waters.) If interested in mourning rituals from around the world, see my #flashfiction story titled A Year of Mournings in my book Stranger Things Happen (link in bio).

I roped my brother-in-law into Sunrise.
