Oh yeah, I forgot about Q179 "And roses..." My immediate reaction was Pussywillows, Cattails. But then I quickly realized that doesn't quite meet the dot rules. For it to work, it would have to be "...and roses..." right Geo Steve?

Then later this afternoon while admiring the gorgeous fall colors here in southeast Michigan I started thinking about spring, and tulips (my fave flower). For some reason I recalled observing how early they sprang up in New York City when I lived just outside the city limits about ten years ago. As I thought about the contrast of soft flowers against the concrete backdrop I thought about, of all things, roses! Which led me to...

Cold Hands from New York.

Children ran and children played
And roses grew in alleyways~GL
