Celebrating Seventeen Years Together with the Robins in Boston Commons

As the sun scoots westward,
leaving orange and salmon streaks
across the Boston sky,
plump robins continue pecking
for last unsuspecting worms
in the cool, just watered, grass.
And as day hands the baton to night,
hand in hand we stroll
out the Boston Commons gate,
and head back to the hotel
where hot fudge sundaes,
topped with whipped cream and cherries await us,
capping the perfect 17th anniversary celebration.

  9. Never been there, but the anniversary sounds like it was wonderful. I hope y’all got very creative with the sundaes…

  11. brought some good-time memories back for me too
    we shared our time there with the squirrels
    (and it was frozen youghurt rather than sundaes)
    but the effect on us was the same
    thanks don
