Swan Boats in Boston, garden, spring tradition

In 1877 they appeared.
The Swan Boats of Boston.
133 years later,
they still glide on the water in Spring.
How many traditions last that long these days?

Magnolia Snow

In the next town,
a 100 year old Magnolia
with sinuous, curvy limbs
stands as solid and tall as an Oak.
Like fallen snow with a touch of pink,
100s of blossoms coat the tree,
sprinkle the petals,
then blanket the ground below.
A welcome snow in April.

Girl in Field, best things in life are free, Tax Day song

A song for Tax Day:
"Flowers in spring
The robins that sings
The sunbeams that shine
They're yours and they're mine
Love can come to everyone
Best things in life
They're free."
Song by B.G. DeSylva, Lew Brown, and Ray Henderson for the musical "Good News" 1927

Puddles

The rain is relentless here:
overflowing rivers, filled basements, moats around houses, swollen seas.
Like making lemonade out of lemons,
kids make fun puddles out of floods.
Might as well view it like a child...
or a duck.

Pastel, 5x7, $100.

Shine it up spring is here -motorcycle

Polish the pipes.

Car, motocycle, feet, or bicycle.
Get on the road.
It's Spring.

Up on the Roof- stars are free

"When this old world starts a getting me down,
and people are just too much for me to face.
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs and all my cares just drift right into space.On the roof, it's peaceful as can be and there the world below don't bother me, no, no.
So when I come home feeling tired and beat, I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet.
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd and all the rat-race noise down in the street.
On the roof, that's the only place I know, look at the city, baby.
Where you just have to wish to make it so, let's go up on the roof.
And at night the stars, they put on a show for free.
...up on the roof, up on the roof, up on the roof.
Everything is all right, every thing is all right. You got the stars above and the city lights below, let's go up on the roof."
Song by Gerry Goffin & Carole King, sung by James Taylor
