A rainy May day in Ocean Grove. Photograph of parrot tulips by Eileen Goldfinger 5/5/17 Blogfinger.net Click for the “Jack and the Beanstalk” effect. Title lyric quote* from “April Showers.”
“Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don’t run under a tree
There’ll be pennies from heaven
For you and me”
