Some developer had the idea to make one of our nearby playgrounds an “oasis” – complete with sand, palm trees, Adirondack chairs, and a giant pelican (see below).
The sign calls it the “Bloomfield Oasis” – after the name of the subdivision. It’s. Very. Weird. Especially in November. Of course, it’s even better when there’s snow on everything.
The plastic and metal branches sway and creak in the wind.
This palm trunk is in need of some repair. The playground is probably 15 years old, after all. It’s kind of a lark to walk the dog down this way, squint and imagine we’re in Florida.
Now, that’s just WEIRD.
