Another glorious spring day here in Hartford:
Pink is everywhere in the park. As a certified pink lover, this makes me happy.
Yet another tree that looks like a human with arms outstretched.
My favorite part of the walk was encountering these two guys playing their trombones while sitting on a park bench. They had a pretty neat repertoire.
They certainly brought a smile to my face!
Happy Thursday.

Good afternoon Claudia,
Greetings from Portugal

The trombone’s captured me. My father was a trombone player with the big bands.
It brought back memories. I love their sound, if played well ..its magic to the ears..
Hope to see you my way

Good morning Claudia, Glad to hear that your stroll through the park brought a smile to your face. I’m sure the trombone players made it even more enjoyable.
Beverly says
Now, that is my idea of a perfect walk. A bit of music to sooth your soul, trees with stories to tell and pinks to make you smile.
I’m sending you a smile, Claudia.♥

Thanks for those photos, Claudia! You certainly are blessed with that beautiful park you can walk in. Perhaps it can make up a bit for not being at home. Hope you’re feeling a bit better. I know that you’ll feel much better when you’re finished with the assignment. But then don’t you think it’s good to get an assignment once in a while? It keeps you from getting rusty, I would think. It keeps your teaching skills sharpened and forces you to mingle with people. You’re always at home alone most of the time since Don works. Anyways, keep your little chin up, will you! This too will pass, as they say. Who says? I don’t know. At the moment, it’s me. Hah Hah! And now, I have to go and spray paint that little metal bed I made for my dollhouse! After that, I have to get dressed and go do some errands. I like to keep busy!

The tulip tree is so beautiful, dear Claudia, we have them here,too- and so is the other wonderfully blooming tree.
Couldn`t be much better than that, and the music!
Enjoy spring my friend.

I just stopped by and read your last several posts to catch up. I always enjoy your adventures in the theater. as well as home. What play are you working on?
Carry on!
Debby says
Looks like a little sunshine happened today. Love the tree as well.
I’d send you some plants if I had some…..my yard is all weeds. How do they send plants to Brenda without them dying. I think it’s cute that she will have a blogger garden.
Hope that you get to go home again soon. Is it any quieter since your last move? (((((HUGS))))

Places like that are such a wonderful gift! Music, beautiful flowers, greenery and tall trees. A perfect place to wander and collect your thoughts. I’m glad you have it nearby, Claudia, while you’re away.
