The time has come to tell you about Grover - you know, cute and furry from Sesame Street.When my children were young, one of them had a book called Grover and the Everything in the Whole Wild World Museum (We all loved it so much - I have it saved somewhere). Each time we read it we watched Grover visit the rooms in the museum to view the different collections of items:
- Things You See in the Sky Room
- Things You See on the Wall Room
- Things You See Under the Water Room
- Long Thin Things You Write With Room
- Carrot Room
- All the Vegetables in the Whole Wide World Besides Carrots Room
- Things That Make So Much Noise You Can't Think Room
- Small Hall
- Tall Hall
- Things That Can Make You Fall Hall
- Hall of Very, Very Light Things
- Hall of Very, Very Heavy Things
- Things That Can Tickle You Room
- Things That are Cute and Furry - guess who decides he should be displayed in this one?
Here's the connection :
Today it's been raining. MAD got soaked when she went out this morning and again when she went three doors down to Starbucks for her fix this afternoon.
Mr. MAD had thrown out his back and MAD thought it prudent to stay home and keep him from doing more damage. But my walk on my rain-soaked block near U Street reminded me so much
of Grover's emergence. Each time I walk down the street I get to see the status of the Spring flowers. There is a yard of red tulips across the street that are getting ready to pop and I can't wait to see them in action*. 
There is a triangle at the corner filled with ground covers and Daffodils (almost finished blooming) that I hadn't seen before. One yard has Bleeding Heart in bloom. It's the Whole Wide Everything Else in the World Museum, right on my block.Bet there's one on your block, too.
*I went out less than 2 hours later to take pictures to show you and the tulips are just about open. April showers, eh?
