Participant2/17/2022 Church Steeple
[ATTACH=CONFIG]28080[/ATTACH]
View of National Shrine from bike lane.
Interesting how many DC row houses have steeple-like turrets toped with spires and how many churches don’t have any steeples at all.Participant[ATTACH=CONFIG]28079[/ATTACH]
I don’t know how many times I’ve been at the intersection of Florida and 1st NW DC and looked across at this mural while waiting for the light to change but didn’t see the Little Free Library in front of it. How long has it been there? Anyway, it had very few books but a really cool flip top design! KidSnowLeopard figured out how to open it.

From https://tudorplace.org/
“Tudor Place Historic House & Garden preserves the stories of six generations of descendants of Martha Washington, and the enslaved and free people who lived and worked at this Georgetown landmark for nearly two centuries.”ParticipantLittle Free Library in Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown. Maybe some poetry would be nice to borrow and read in the gardens.

Soldiers Home Cemetery behind President Lincoln’s Cottage.ParticipantDecided to bike eastward until spotting a little Free Library. Found this one on 15th Street NW DC between Webster and Allison. Has yoga DVDs and adult selections. Needs kid lit.

Because of freezing saddles I learned that before they married Nancy was in a movie together with Ronald Reagan called “The Long Shadow.” So here’s mine and KidSnowLeopard’s:

#withkidSnowLeopard checking out little Free Library near the bigger free Woodridge library in NE DC. The LFL didn’t close at 6pm like the bigger one.

KidSnowLeopard and I hit up this great Little Free Library on 10th St NE DC near Kearney. It had a Highlights magazine with a scratchoff Pisces fish and a cute book we read on the spot about a baby pea who is forced to eat five pieces of candy for dinner before he gets the dessert treat of spinach!
Participant2/10/2022 Pisces
The four Pisces U.S. presidents were: James Madison (March 16), Andrew Jackson (March 15), Grover Cleveland (March 18), and…
The District’s namesake.

George Washington!Pisces and Aquarius are the most common U.S. presidential signs, but the Pisces fared better in the not-getting-shot department.
