Kaitlin G. 3/15/2019 6:45 AMOne more thought on critters at Phipps: If you ever spot a cat on the premises, let me know; I'll want to see how cute it is. Thanks!-

Kaitlin G. 3/15/2019 6:40 AMSpring is on its way, and we'll start seeing more of our feathered friends soon! The CSL rooftop garden is a favorite spot for tiny goldfinches and wrens, and on the terrace outside of the Tropical Forest you can spot robins, cardinals and blue jays. As the weather gets warmer, we'll also likely see our resident red-tailed hawk gliding over Panther Hollow Lake. Try to match the calls you hear to the birds you see! -
Kaitlin G. 3/15/2019 6:34 AMOn a gorgeous day like today, be sure to get outside! Even if you don't have time to take a short walk, you can pop up to the rooftop garden and soak up some fresh air and sunshine. :) -
Kaitlin G. 3/15/2019 6:33 AMI was wondering how Central Catholic stormed into first place, and it's because the students constantly post to their feed things like this: "RECYCLE ♻️ RECYCLE ♻️ RECYCLE ♻️ RECYCLE ♻️ RECYCLE ♻️"
At least they've got enthusiasm, right? And I'll try to post more often, too... we're in the home stretch of this challenge!

My start to this challenge is going well, commuting by bus and then walking went fairly smoothly! I should have worn earmuffs, though - here's a tip for anyone else who is walking for this challenge: Dress appropriately for the weather and then some!
