Singing in the Rain

Boston is ugly during the winter when the snow is grungy, the trees are leafless, and you can see all the trash and sand. Then suddenly the trees erupt into blossom and everything greens up and fills in and it’s gorgeous. It’s like looking at the cherry blossoms in D.C. Suddenly the world is in Technicolor. Even the rain seems to bring out the deep green of the lawns.
