To date, many of the crabapple trees have been replaced with flowering cherry trees, which also have an alternating pink and white flower. We wanted to keep the same theme along the street in the spring.

I never see that prettiest thing-
A cherry bough gone white with Spring-
But what I think, "How gay 'twould be
To hang me from a flowering tree.

I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now / Is hung with bloom along the bough.

We have seen bears in the trees across from Signal Hill Elementary. Some fruit-bearing trees don't attract bears such as cherry trees because the fruit is quite small.

Here is how to turn down an extramural date so you won't be asked again. Say something like I'm terribly sorry I can't come out to see 8 1/2 revived on a wall-size Cambridge Celluloid Festival viewer on Friday, Kimberly, or Daphne, but you see if I jump rope for two hours then jog backwards through Newton till I puke They'll let me watch match-cartridges and then my mother will read aloud to me from the O.E.D. until 2200 lights-out, and c.; so you can be sure that henceforth Daphne/Kimberly/Jennifer will take her adolescent-mating-dance-type-ritual-socialization business somewhere else.
