Swing into Spring

Swing into spring

Ring-a-ding-ding
Let the birdie sing
Perched on a swing
Ring-a-ling-ling
Like bells on a string
He announces spring
Ring-a-bling-bling
Doing his thing
The bluebird king
Ding-a ring-ring
Fell on his bling
Messed up everything
Even his wing
But he still can sing
A song of spring!

If you don't live in Aromas, California, you might not know about the Aromas Bridge that has recently been dressed up with 75 colorful fish--all swimming toward town. Each fish is 42 inches long and painted by a volunteer using five vibrant colors of acrylic mural paint. Our volunteer painters were all ages, 10 to 80 years old, with or without painting experience. They carefully designed their fish, and the results are magnificent. Three generations in my family had a good time painting fish. I watched a senior couple paint one fish with their granddaughter.

Now that our river is clean and the steelhead are back--75 colorful fish have joined the fun. This is the ninth mural to be organized and donated by the Aromas Hills Artisans.
