Yesterday two of my grandchildren came to where I work prior to setting out on a downtown exploration with their mom. What a treat for me! Co-workers who missed seeing them were kicking themselves today. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law took pictures I could share.

After the kids pretended to work at my desk (assisted by a colleague’s Donald Duck — push the button and he talks like the real thing), we went out into the Greenway. There is always something going on there in the summer, and we were surprised to find a good band concert surrounded by lounging chairs, tables, couches, bouquets, and beach floats.

I had to go back to work, but the kids got to ride on the wonderful marine-themed carousel and get wet in the crazy fountain. Everyone was impressed with all the food trucks along the Greenway and sampled a couple.

I was just running out to put more coins in the meter where my savvy daughter-in-law had parked (she actually found street parking!) when they returned from their adventures, just in time. That takes talent.

Heavy rain Friday night stunned our dogwood. I include before and after, plus a gaggle of other photos from my springtime meanderings.

The elephant mural is at the entrance to Boston’s Chinatown. The fancy light fixture is outside Trade restaurant. The fence with crocheted wheels is at the Davis Square subway stop. The fountain is next to a rose garden honoring the mother of President Kennedy, Rose. The urban birdhouse is in the Greenway. The herring gull is at Boston Harbor. The Canada Geese are too prolific. The Mudworks sign is in Fort Point. And the flowers are at Verrill Farm.
