Five Things for Today: June 13, 2020

Checking out the wetlands at Huntley Meadows Park yesterday


1. Quick links for weekend activities:
* Local Hikes
* Pick Your Own places
* Paddling opportunities
* Fairfax Parks and NoVa Parks (more open with Phase 2)
* Protests around the DMV

2. Friends of Peirce Mill invite you to Create by the Creek: A Socially-Distant Celebration of Art and Community in Rock Creek Park. Any time between today June 21, find a safe spot in Rock Creek Park and let your creative juices flow. Draw or paint a landscape or a single flower, write a rap or a poem, take a photograph, record a TikTok, make a collage. Then share your artwork using the hashtags #createbythecreek, #rockcreekpark, #loverockcreek, or #summerintheparks. See what other people have been making on Instagram and Facebook.  All ages and artistic experience are encouraged to participate!

3. Oprah Magazine recommends 43 books by black authors to read in 2020.

4. Where to donate effectively right now.

5. Dave Chapelle’s brand new special, 8:46, is not funny. And it’s not supposed to be. (Update: This is NOT for kids — apologies for any confusion! I assume parents see “Dave Chapelle” and know that. Just like Oprah’s book recs, some of the “Five Things” are specifically for adults, since they are the ones actually reading KFDC.)

Five Things for Today: June 12, 2020

Seen on a recent neighborhood walk



1. Northern Virginia begins Phase 2 of reopening today. This DCist article has more on what this entails, but it includes many places for recreation and entertainment, including museums, zoos, gardens, and outdoor venues for sports and the performing arts. More park facilities will also open — find details for Fairfax Parks and NoVa Parks. A quick heads-up that this includes playgrounds, so Clemyjontri in McLean will open along with many others. (I still recommend calling ahead if you plan to go, just to confirm there aren’t any issues.)

2. The Yards’ Friday Night Concert Series is back this summer — online! Starting this evening through July 3, you can stream the free concerts from the comfort of your own home. It kicks off at 7pm with a performance by Justin Trawick that you can view on Facebook.

3. Tomorrow, June 13, is a Free Fishing Day in Maryland, which means you don’t need a license to cast a line in waters that usually require one — a fun way to enjoy being outdoors on what’s forecast to be a nice day! (FYI, this is happening June 20, too.)

4. Netflix just introduced a Black Lives Matter section of films to view.

5. What the recent Black Lives Matter protests have changed so far. (PS: Protests continuing this weekend.)
