happy spring to many - here in western Colorado we're vacillating between warm and cold in a true, classic Colorado manner.
i do these posts about praxis periodically because i seek inspiration and motivation for concrete actions i can take in my life, and you, the community of people who are into solarpunk, are creative powerhouses. with that in mind, what kind of projects are you all working on, or have you seen going down? any ideas that you're excited about doing as the weather gets warmer?
thanks for being rad, friends.
I just helped my neighbor replace his front lawn with low growing roman chamomile and lavender. I'm hoping to rig up a little solar powered water feature using secondhand parts soon.
I have been cutting 6" sticks from storm damaged tree limbs, and drilling the various-size holes for the the solitary bee house I set up at my parents' place. Need to replace the sticks every year after they emerge so we don't propagate diseases or parasites in the solitary bees.
Once I find a couple 6"x1" oak boards (maybe when someone throws out a bed?) I'll be able to cut the arching back pieces for a wood and cast iron park bench im trying to fix up. I need to take a wire wheel to the rust and paint it, fabricate the back (I already have the slats for the seat but they do need to be sanded, stained, urethaned, and attached). Then I can put it out near our local bike path.
Need to put a new tire and tube on my front bike wheel.
I'm working on some more photobashes too.
