Saturday in the park

Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
Eicay varee', eisee' nardee'
Can you dig it
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday
"Saturday in the Park," Chicago, 1972.

Well, the picture wasn't taken on the Fourth of July, it was taken a couple of hours ago in Skokie's Harms Woods, which isn't really a park.

But I like the scene, particularly the smoke coming out of the chimney, which is something I'm not used to seeing in June, but we are having a very cool summer so far.

The picnic shelter is a Civilian Conservation Corps structure.
