With the recent warm-up, lots of Richmonders are planning their spring planting. Holly Street neighbor Phaedra has announced that there is a now a small seed library in a alley off her street. Residents are encouraged to take seeds or leave seeds. It was built by Jake Urbanski with salvaged materials, including a handle from an old filing cabinet and a bus window from the GRTC. Lizzy Cox painted it.
Please pick up after your dogs. All of this gets swept into the river and no one, fish included, wants to swim with all this. Pet wastes are the major source point of pollution on this part of the James River.

Beautiful morning. Rain coming Sunday evening.
