A guy was walking by a dumpster with a bag of strawberries. He saw a squirrel. He stopped. Put several strawberries on the rim of the dumpster and kept walking. Inspired me to do the same with strawberries I had in my fridge.

I know. As I was laying out my strawberries on the grass I was thinking I'm just encouraging vermin.

We had some to spare this year. We got at LEAST ten quarts out of a 10'x10' bed.

And the birds poop them back out onto the cars.

(18,705 posts)3. I try to do a act of kindness when I go out, even if it is small.
It seems to surprise people when you do it.
The last act of kindness I saw was at the grocery store.
The old gentleman was trying to lift a large bag of dog food into his car.
A young woman came along and helped him.
