  • View-able do-ables

    Someone doing something that inspires someone else to do something is a view-able do-able. 
    Evoking  an – "I could do that…." response.

    KIP'ing  (Knitting in Public) is one such example.  Frequently at our Knit'n'Cafe (Fridays 1-4 at Serious Coffee in Cook Street Village)  and  Knitting at Koffi (Mondays 2-4 Belmont and Haultain) (both here in Victoria BC)  women and men and kids see us knitting and crocheting,  stop to watch us knitting and crocheting,  may join us in knitting and crocheting (to learn or troubleshoot or simply take part in the community of fibre) . 

    Gardening is certainly a view-able do-able.  The sight and the site of flowers, vegetables, bushes, trees  etc. invite communication between the gardener and the passerby.

    Painting telephone and hydro poles with brilliant birds and flowers is a view-able do-able.   Drive along Fernwood Road for the ongoing adventure and email me if you wish to take part;   I will direct you to the lady behind the endeavour.

    Put a thoughtful bumper sticker on your car.  Or a funny one.  Thinking and laughing are worthwhile driving companions.

    The man who routinely can be seen walking his block picking up litter is likely the reason that block now has flowers planted on the boulevard.  Also on Fernwood Road.

    There must be many view-able do-ables…….   Care to share?
