The Boston Globe web site had a photo of the cherry blossoms along Comm Ave. What a beautiful street that is with its red Bulfinch or Bulfinch styled buildings on each side a grassy divider, part of the Emerald Necklace, the green area that makes Boston such a great city to walk in.
Meanwhile Geneva is alive with flowers. Pierce neige (not sure of the English name, but it translate as pushing through the snow) are in abundance on lawns and you almost need sunglasses against the yellow forsythia. Daffodils, pansies, planted by private and public people are seen in window boxes and town planters.
I still haven’t checked out the flower clock. Look at the photos of the clock and other beautiful parts of this beautiful city.

I did drive by it yesterday on the way to spend a day with a friend, doing housework (she has a bad back) eating a great stir fry she made and seeing Memoir of a Geisha. I was too busy worrying about the traffic. Cars and spring do not belong together. From the bus I can appreciate the budding beauty without guilt.
How was I lucky enough to end up living in two incredible places in one lifetime???
