We didn't start the fire

I am always so impressed by this song. Billy Joel wrote this song based off of headlines between 1949 (the year he was born) and 1989. I think it is quite impressive that he was able to use headlines/major events in the world's history and actually work it into a song, make it catchy, and make it a hit! How many people can really do this plus it is very informative!! I would completely suggest reading the lyrics while listening to the song. Also a great source for teachers to get kids interested in this period of history? Perhaps.

If there is time I would suggest reading:

this reminds me of summer right now:

green grass

I see gorgeous green grass, budding trees and a slight wind. Today looks absolutely gorgeous. I will be going on a run again at lunch around the Rideau Canal. It's days like today that make me appreciate this city!

Let's try again

I do not see this from any of my windows but I wish I did.

Some are not as amazing as others, so it does take some patience to scroll through and find the gems. But, once you find them you just cannot get over those photos!
