The only thing between our sidewalk and the street is gutter.

Yeah, I have this [link] . And City is very invested in its tree cover (unless you have corporate bribes, but anyway.)

And that section of walk is the more even for our block...

I suspect my neighborhood lost that bit sometime in the past when streets were widened to be two-way. They're still pretty narrow. Good thing we have parks.
Then again, we don't have squirrels.
I'm thinking I want to whip up a baby blanket for my co-worker who is going on maternity leave November-ish, so I took a peek at my yarn stash and it is TINY. I must have gotten rid of a lot at some point is all I can figure. Or I've hidden the bulk of it from myself somehow. Can't rule that out.

Aha, found a tote bag full of yarn, for some reason. None of that feels nice and soft for a baby blanket, though, so I think I will still be heading to Michael's soon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I may have to look into our city code about the trees and sidewalks. They treat the trees as theirs, even though they are clearly on the homeowners' property--you have to get a permit to do more than prune them, but they also say the homeowners need to fix the sidewalk

I'm glad you are there with your dad, Lee. I'm so sorry about the reasons why.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
betwixt sidewalk and street
I know some people who call that area "the marginal yard," but I've always like the term "besidewalk."
