From 1992 to 2000, I lived in Kansas City, Missouri. I moved there for a job, not knowing too much about the city or how — or if — I would like it.
I LOVED IT.
I loved the people, the food, the arts community, the food. And that’s also where I adopted Rory Dog.
Like I said — great people.
Kansas City is top of mind today because it’s Fountain Day — the day they turn on all the public fountains in the city. You do know that Kansas City is second only to Rome in the number of fountains?
It’s true.
So, if you get a chance to visit Kansas City, you’re sure to enjoy them. Because as of today, the fountains are on.
It’s spring in Kansas City!
Bird brain
If you’re looking for the first robins of spring where you live…
They’re all in Central Park.
I noticed a large gathering of robins on the Great Lawn when I was walking Rory this morning. They were spaced out in an almost geometric pattern, standing very still.
It looked much like the start of some sci-fi films, just before the aliens land…or creatures burst through the earth after being buried in pods for centuries.
Of course, there is one other reason the birds could have been standing there on the Great Lawn in the early morning –
Breakfast.
