PARK(ing) Day, predictably, I suppose, is being an amazing series of hoops to jump through and hurdles to clear. I finally got the permits from the City of Boston for the spaces in the city, and our contact in Cambridge managed the two there, too. YAY!

The new hurdle is that the sod donation may not come through. So I'm scrambling: How do I make a parking space feel special and welcoming and vaguely parklike if I'm not lining it with sod and making it temporarily green. Ideas? I'm currently thinking about trying to use chalk or other color to create an attractive path or labyrinth or something, but I fear that simply doesn't have the same charm as good old fashioned grass.

Rugs! Hmmm!

I have a couple of rugs ... somewhere ... maybe.

I have an old GREEN rug that is currently at srl's that I think he cannot use. It's 13 years old and was one of the first things I bought for my first apartment. It's oval, and about.... 4X8?

I was also thinking a bale of straw that you could scatter and/or some haybales that might also work as benches. I, ahem, know some people who might take them as mulch afterwards...

I think I'd love the rug of we can figure out how to get it to me. Hay bale!! Brilly!!

Confirmed-—the green rug doesn't fit anywhere that I could use a rug. If we can figure out how to get it to aroraborealis, that sounds like a great idea. I'll be home all day Friday, AFAIK, until the late afternoon/evening.
