Talking turkey at Glendale

Maybe this bird is thinking about running for office and gathering petition signatures at Glendale?

What do you think?

This turkey was spotted from Joralemon Street grazing in Glendale Cemetery on Easter Sunday afternoon. We know some hunters who were planning an early Thanksgiving feast.

Ready for Cherry Blossoms?

Check out Cherry Blossom Village, Belleville, NJ, a new blog that will keep you up to date on the history and present of the annual cherry blossom bloom in Belleville and Newark, N.J.

Here's my take:

Cherry Blossom Trees, Not Cherry Trees

As a native Belleville-ite (Bellevillian, someone who grew up in Belleville), it bugs me when the cherry blossom trees are referred to as "cherry trees" because they are cherry-blossom trees, not cherry trees. The fruit of the cherry tree is cherry. But the fruit of a cherry blossom tree is a blossom. Feel free to correct anyone around you who makes this mistake. You might want to point out that there are two kinds of cherry blossom trees: the single blossom and the double blossom. But don't be a bore about it.
