Some things don't change.................. the local Mid-Lent Fair.
***************************************************************
The seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time.
We can’t return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

"Life Is A Carnival" ... We're all in the same boat ready to float ... Off the edge of the world, the flat old world ... People, you can't see ... The street is a sideshow ... Believe it or not ... It's in the book ... Life is a carnival ... Two bits a shot ... (Lyrics from the song: The Band - Life Is a Carnival)

This was a gift and arrived as a flat, small notebook-sized packet of laser-cut wooden pieces, labeled with instructions on how to assemble them. I broke one piece, a #support for one of the ponies. A trip to the hardware store for some glue, and I was able to complete the puzzle. As David Clayton-Thomas said, "Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin"
Jane's Carousel was made in 1922 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, then installed in a park in Ohio. In 1984 it was purchased in poor condition by Jane and David Walentas, then meticulously restored. It opened in Brooklyn in 2011, sheltered inside a glass case.

All the fun of the carousel in Piazza della Repubblica, Florence – but I must admit we had our eye on all the fun of the cocktail bar just a few steps further on. And it wasn’t too long before we rested our aching feet there. Interesting, isn’t it, how just a single glass of ice-cold pinot refreshes the feet…
