Saturday In Park Slope With Gourds

Meant this as a counterpoint to my grousing about the farmer's market but got distracted. Anyway, given the show of force around the nabe this weekend (did NOBODY go to the country?), I was pleasantly surprised by the peace and serenity of the Botanical Gardens. 

Nobody was there! On a free Saturday morning.

My faith was renewed. Everybody looked nicer on the way back home. Even Roly Poly Guacamole or whatever the fuck they were called, the bearded boy band singing outside the library. I almost shed a tear for their rendition of Joni's timeless classic, the "Circle Game."

Because it does go round and round. But kind of in a nice way.

At least until my loving feeling was all but obliterated by the Erica-endorsed Stone Park pony and face painting show! Surely a Park Slope Parents plot to sew (sow?) misery in the BREEDER population!
