tree knows it’s spring

This tree lost all it’s leaves and now it’s come up with these flowers that look like lilies. I just love the way the bouganvilla has joined the party. When I starting taking pictures, all the little neighborhood kids ran up and wanted their picture taken.

Then I went to look at fabrics at the neighborhood of fabric stores, just a research trip. If you don’t like thrift stores, you may not like shopping here, it’s sort of a hunters paradise. I found lots of great gingham, but no dotted swiss, which I am dying for, or some kind embroidered white on white. When I tried to leave, a taxi had blocked my car from behind and I couldn’t move. Two guys came up, opened the taxi door, put the car in neutral and pushed the taxi out of the way for me. We all laughed. I hope it was okay, these situations make me feel a little weird, even though we had a good laugh over the whole thing, and they didn’t seem to expect anything, but I gave them a dollar.
