Yesterday, in my home town of Boston, the dirty snow surrounding us did some serious melting.
The result? Dirty water.
As you can see, there’s plenty of dirty snow and ice left, too. But there’s less danger now, walking around.
Dirty water, you don’t scare me!
What turned so much dirty snow into dirty water yesterday? The warming sun, here to see:
After looking up and down for the First And Finest Boston anthem by the Standells, I’ve found “Dirty Water” on YouTube:
While I may not always love that dirty water, Boston IS my home. And I love that hometown song.
One more shot I took yesterday, from the inside of my Boston office:
Before I venture out again into that dirty water, ice, and snow, let’s muddy the waters a little. Do you have a song you’d like to share about water, your hometown, or anything else in this post? Dive on in with any comment at all; the blogging water is fine.
Dirty, clean, and muddy thanks to the Standells, to standing water, to melting snow, to shining suns and pavements, to ohhhh ohhhh Boston you’re my home, to those who take time for themselves, and to you — of course! — for taking valuable time for me, today.
There is sunshine in the pictures, so wonderful … spring is coming… snow is going…. 🙂
Thanks for bringing your wonderful smile here, Ute!
Wow! That is a whole lot of dirty water to flow away!
Song…. hmmm…..
How about… I can see clearly now!

That is one of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite people!
Love that the warm sun is casting your shadow over the snow. The snow has cast its shadow over you for too long!
I love how you light things here, Maureen

You appear to have a new ‘do, Ann! Or at least your shadow, does, and it looks quite spiffy!!
Is it to celebrate your once-in-a-lifetime post No. 799, which will never be the same as it ever was? That is a lot of dirty water, and melting snow, still!

Thank goodness, Mark, you show up WAY more than once in my lifetime. And it’s always different.
By the way, Mark, my son Aaron and I have been talking about Talking Heads and David Byrne lately, so your comment is clean and timely.
The Team Ann mental pipeline is working properly, Koplow. 🙂
I really like the images; and the dirty water reminds me of an old song called Black Water:

Black Water is one of my FAVORITE songs, Maria. Thanks for bringing that and your lovely self here today.
I think things get better from dangerous and cold and to just dirty level. That should be easy to handle in time. Glad to see your home city restores close to normal again.
It’s not quite normal yet but YES better, less dangerous, and warmer. Thanks for helping restore my spirits, today!
Everything is changing … the good bits along with the not so good bits!
You always bring the good bits, Val.
Thank you so much Ann!
Love the shadow presence.
Love your presence, too.
