In looking for the first post on the topic, I realize it’s been a year since this blogspace started. The Asiatic/ Stargazer-type lilies are blooming again too, so the whole backyard is scented in the moonlight. To kill this mood of celebration, the “La Cucaracha” ice cream truck is back.
It’s parked not far from here. I can hear its eerie, ghostlike sound through the walls of my home office. I wonder, grimly to myself, what kid actually NEEDS ice cream at 10:45 PM (and what parents will let him or her walk down the city street to get it)? And, yet again, why cockroaches in a song advertising food?
I like the neighborhood, but sometimes it’s just strange.
Congratulations on your blogisversary.
