When I used to work at the Plant Center, I’d usually get put on stocking inventory, and if a plant came in multiple colors, I’d arrange them chromatically. The pansies would be arranged to be White, then red, orange, yellow, blue, purple and black. Or the Dracena would get arranged from lightes-colored leaves to darkest. I was genuinely surprised how many people noticed and tanked me for it.
There’s a “Welcome ____!” chalkboard at my vet’s office for the pets who have appointments. Today I found out that if it’s not an emergency/time-sensitve and the owner has no preference, the lady who schedules them does so that the chalkboard will have a theme. Last time my dog Charleston Chew was in for a checkup, there was also a Snickers (Cat), an Oreo (another cat, bet you can’t guess what color) and a Toblerone (Boa Constrictor) on the board. Today there were five Baileys of varying species. I followed her on facebook just to see her “Best Of”
There’s coffe shops and restaurants with jokes or drawings on the sandwich boards or tip jars. Churches with marquees with a good one-liner avery time I drive by (STILL mad I didn’t get a pic of the “LIT FOR CHIST: JOHN 2:1-11″ sign). Joke flavors of ice cream, Terrible puns for your Wifi Network, my friend who took advantage of her house’s to paint a pair of eyes, a naose, and a wide grin on the otuside of her blinds so the four windows make a face. There’s a million little works of art- color studies and wordplays and small theatrical performances- all around us.
They mean a whole awful lot to me. I would drive a whole extra mile longer on the way home from school in high school to see what the neighbors with the extensive collection of inflatable lawn ornaments had done now.
If you do these things, please keep it up. I noticed, and it really did make my day that much brighter.
