    2/15/21 – “St Skeletor’s Day” Subanagram (5 or more letters) or Human Skeleton

    No skeletons in my neighborhood, alas. But I was confident that I should be able to find a lottery sign on the local 7-11. I did, but the lettering was TINY so I zoomed in for this collage image.

    2/14/21 – Heart

    Just as I left my house with my bike, I witnessed two middle school aged boys walking down the sidewalk, one of whom was carrying a heart-shaped box wrapped with a bow. I didn’t have the heart to interrupt their intense conversation and ask to take a picture of their gift on its way to be delivered, although that would have been perfect.

    2/13/21 – Diner

    Bentley’s Falls Church Diner. I think they’re closed and have actually changed hands but the sign is still up near the street. Hard to see the bike but it’s there.

    Someone started calling out a 2nd floor window to invite me upstairs so I didn’t take long to snap a photo and quickly move along.

    2/10/21 – 5 or 6 point Star (but not on American flag)

    I had the intention of keeping it simple and stopping by Starbucks on the way to the pharmacy to pick up Rx. Then I rode by a VA Civil War Trail sign with 3 stars and a bugle. That would work, but those aren’t very unique around here. Instead I came back around to capture a star incorporated into a fence art display at the local elementary school. It was by far the coolest star I saw on my errand run today.

    2/7/21 – Superb Owl (or a few alternatives)

    An artistic rendering of a superb owl found roosting in a little free library. My fallback was going to be Fowler St.

    2/6/21 – Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt

    Lil City Creamery in Falls Church

    I was going to treat my husband to some ice cream so that I could get the selfie, but alas the Creamery was closed.

    2/4/21 – Rose or Rosa

    Rosemary Lane in Falls Church

    3c35de40a78af1908594c6d69b3fc6ed.jpg

    On my way back from riding up and down Rosemary Ln a few times, I was reminded that there is also a Rose Place nearby.

    But this sign was prettier so I went with it.

    2/1/21 The colors Red, Blue, and Yellow in the same picture

    Wow – you guys had some very clear looking roads and sidewalks! Here in Western Fairfax I was even nervous driving my car over to Falls Church for an errand. After the errand, I needed to go to Target (sister’s bd card) so went to Mosaic. Fortunately, I had my bike and gear in the car “just in case” so I rode way too many stupid laps in the parking garage to get my sleeze miles. And as I finished, I came across this little beauty.

    Earlier today I was checking out recent activity on Strava to see what people were doing. I saw crayon-scribble marks over the Mosiac parking garage and I thought, “That’s a great idea. Maybe I can go ride circles in the garage.” But then I continued to hear sets of car tires spinning out on my icy, hilly street in Falls Church and decided just to stay home.

    1/31/21 – “Henri Desgrange” subanagram (5-letter or more word, not the object)

    “Green”

    I decided to get ahead of the snow and take a midnight ride.
