Spring is springing at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
Ah, spring in the Northeast. The week, you’ll see the magnolia bloom and the daffodils rising through the sodden ground. You’ll smell the heady scent, the permeating pollens which didn’t bother me one bit after seven years of allergy shots. You’ll see turtles sunning on the rocks in the Japanese Garden, ducks ducking ass-up in the lily pond. And in April, you’ll see the cherry blossoms in bloom. I remember them raining down on my daughter when she was a toddler, how she ran after them, head back, giggling, her chubby hands opening and closing. Ah, spring!

Hi Rochelle, I was just there last week with my dad and his wife; we could not believe the magnolias were already blooming! You know that is one of my favorite places! I wrote a short essay about it in your class a few years ago.
I got an email from Carole Blake about her newest song, and was thinking maybe we should try to get together at a diner for lunch sometime, what do you think?
Happy Spring 🙂

Eva, how great to hear of you. Yes, I remember that essay so well. Funny how your essays have stayed in my mind. I have to say no to dinner because since I’m doing theater reviews for the Huff Post, I’m out too many nights a week. My husband retired and I have to slot time in for him or I’ll be writing about how I lost my marriage on Broadway. Love, Rochelle
