seven

The kid is seven.

Lucky number.

Lucky kid.

Lucky day.

Lucky me.

city Sunday

We're all finally happily thawed, and everyone is out enjoying some wonderful weather and trying not to think about how daylight savings messes with our internal clocks.

The local fire station is celebrating it's 100th anniversary.



The playground version.


And spring is finally looking like more of a reality than a remote possibility.

I don't necessarily like this animation from Yellow Submarine. My own mental images are much more beautiful, but it is a wonderful song.

My mom used to play this when we were being difficult, not wanting to go to sleep at bedtime. We would ask her to play one more song. Sort of a lullaby, I guess.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone...
