We were in Nashville for 8 days and spring blooms were abundant there. I just published a post showing these blooms and also because it is my 3rd year anniversary but somehow the post did not update in Reader – this is the 3rd time this happens to me. <br /><br />I bet your park is even greener now.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-33878263872155410002012-03-27T09:53:00.392-07:002012-03-27T09:53:00.392-07:00Sorry, Frances, I seem to have missed this delight...Sorry, Frances, I seem to have missed this delightful post.

It must have made a pretty picture against the blue sky.<br /><br />It is heartening to learn that areas once considered dangerous are now safe. Our first trip to Manhattan was rather scary, that was in 1980 and people warned us not to go.

Then there's the name 'Central Park.' Surely this is but a working title? Peter Stuyvesant Park might be more romantic; or even George Washington Gardens.<br /><br />But whenever I am in that curmudgeonly mood your wonderful pictures attend to my spirit so that you could call it No 1 Park, for all I would care. <br /><br />Incidentally if March 20th is the last day of winter, when, then, is the last day of spring? Surely not the day before midsummer's day?Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-38565423646178963392012-03-20T06:10:02.228-07:002012-03-20T06:10:02.228-07:00Spring seems to have fully arrived in your part of...Spring seems to have fully arrived in your part of the world.
