Every Tuesday neighbors are decorating a window or front door with a specific symbol, creating a community scavenger hunt for people out walking in the neighborhood. All you need to do to participate is paint, draw, or even cut out the symbol of the week and put it facing outward for the world to see. This is one way neighbors can still connect, even when we actually cannot due to the current quarantine.

Tuesday April 7th the symbol is a music note. Or for that matter print the opening notes of your favorite song and maybe people will stop in front of your house and sing or play it for you!
