Our Park

I decided to walk with Lily through the city to Fernandes Produce to get bananas. When we arrived I tied Lily out front and went in and bought a head of cauliflower and three big white onions along with the bananas. On the way home I let Lily swim in the WWII Park pond and she loved it. She swam after a stick and then ran in exuberant circles on shore. The fountain was running, spraying water! I was tempted to jump in too. I wish we could save the park from being abandoned by the State again and have free swimming lessons in the summer for the neighborhood kids and an arts-and-crafts shed for making art on rainy days just like they do at Spring Lake in Burrillville. We need to find a philanthropist to sponsor the cost of running the park and help save the city neighborhoods from devastating poverty. These kids need opportunities too.
