People celebrated the Earth, music was played, beach balls were thrown…

I need a good caption for the above photo.

Possibilities:

  • “If you’re happy and you know it…”
  • “Talk it up infield!”
  • “Olé olé olé oléééééé!”
Look at that sky!

Look at that sky!

But seriously, what a beautiful day in our fair city! It was nice to finally see the sun this week!

There better be some serious May flowers in store for us after today’s nastiness. I guess I should just be happy it was raining and not snowing. Faneuil Hall Marketplace was desolate.

But it was not a total wash. One of the outdoor carts braved the weather and opened up…

Toy cart!

The toy cart! So the city of Boston was able to fulfill its need for severed hands, Bob Marley wigs, and those things that pop when you throw them on the ground. Thanks for taking one for the team, toy cart!
