Spring is in the air

What a beautiful day! The city swept our street yesterday. The birds are singing. The sun is shining. Life is good.
I dusted off my little wagon. Grabbed a couple of trash bags. And hit the streets.
In no time at all I filled the two bags with Dunkin Donuts cups and bags, soda cans, beer cans, cigarette boxes and wrappers, candy wrappers, empty potato chip bags, Nips, etc. I walked down Tower to Huntington, to West Boylston and back up Boardman. My wagon was heavy. My feet were dirty. I must have torn a small hole in my plastic glove but tried convincing myself that the liquid covering my hand was my own sweat and not the random liquids found in the numerous bottles and bags of God knows what that I had picked up.
As I made my way up Boardman I realized that that is where I really should have started.
I walked up the hill feeling defeated. Wishing there was some kind of magical vacuum that would suck up all this trash.
A lady stopped to say she recognized me from last summer, and that she really does appreciate what I do. That was nice.
Tomorrow I'll start on Boardman.
