“In
the spring, at the end of the day,
you
should smell like dirt.”

I
spotted this pink bicycle left near a tree at the Springhouse of Trexler
Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania as sunset knocked on the door of a
picturesque April day. No doubt the bike’s owner was off exploring the beauty
of the outdoors … in the pink of spring.
The log cabin close to the bicycle
was part of Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry C. Trexler
(1854-1933), an American industrialist who built a business empire in
Allentown. The park is his namesake.
