I'm super happy that it's sunny on this work-from-home day for me.

A common sight in Quebec, the fallen glove that has been placed on a fence post in hopes that its owner will find it when they pass by again. A sign of optimism and good will towards strangers.
#MagicInTheMundane@dillyd ah yes, the fence gloves...and sunglasses and hats, kids' shoes and boots, all booty at our local parks. One understands the gloves and so forth, but how does one lose shoes?

@carolannie we saw a pair of snowpants in the middle of the road once! Maybe related to boots

On a whim, I walked up a small hillside to see the trees at the top, and look what I found!
#mushtodon #LichenSubscribe@dillyd If you find a RH mitten, upright, on a fence post it means 'Don't bother, I've moved to Michigan.'

#MagicInTheMundane@dillyd another kindness sometimes seen in Canada is scarves knitted and placed in public places for unhoused/disadvantaged people to take.

#MagicInTheMundane@dillyd Folks do that in Toronto, too! And probably a lot of other places.
It’s so friendly.

@ottaross
How wonderful! -

#MagicInTheMundane@dillyd We do this here too, usually it’s something that’s been dropped from a push chair.
I am very good at losing one glove. I don’t think I have ever found any of them again.

@lydiaschoch @dillyd It even happens in Philadelphia!

#snow@dillyd nice to get a midday outing

@Broadfork @dillyd my best results are in moderate fresh snow in the bush- when I can retrace my footsteps (literally) and see the glove against the white! (on bare ground, retracing my very convoluted steps is tricky, and of course deep snow might simply swallow the items-not always gloves, my hatchet is a frequent flier...lol)

@Broadfork @dillyd btw, had to look up push chair- wasn't sure if it was for a small child (stroller, here) or for someone with mobility issues (wheelchair)- I guess it's the former?

@Broadfork this year was the first time I lost a single glove, and I didn't find it

@cohanf @Broadfork
The other day while biking, I lost a handkerchief. I didn't even bother looking for it: white handkerchief in white snow. I'll need to start using dark handkerchiefs in the winter. -

I'll need to start using dark handkerchiefs in the winter.@dillyd @Broadfork this was a big benefit of those dollar store work gloves with fabricky tops and vinyl(?) palms- thin for summer thick for winter- as the fabricy parts are fluorescent.. I stopped getting the winter ones, though, as the palms don't hold up long to handling rough wood (though nothing really does..)

@cohanf @dillyd Yes, the former. Here a pushchair, stroller, pram or buggy are all interchangeable terms for equipment to move small children about in.
A wheelchair is for use by anyone with mobility issues.
Here in the UK toys are mostly chucked out of prams by children.
In America it seems it’s mostly done by their richest adults.

@dillyd @Broadfork I think Michael Jackson’s other one has been found at Mar a Lago.

I think 'pram' should be generally understood here, though not too often used (could be regional and generational differences) .. buggy is more likely used for other sorts of vehicles etc
lol-- yes, children do love to chuck things from wherever they may be perched-- I think sometimes watching their caretakers play 'fetch' is half the fun..
The dreadful habits of the 1% I won't comment on...lol
