I hope everyone got outside this weekend. It's 56 degrees right now and after this post, I'm heading out for a bike ride in Prospect Park.
The warm weather inspired me to do a little work in the garden this morning. I hadn't been out there in a while, so I enjoyed getting reacquainted with the garden while I picked up sticks, swept up leaves, pulled up dead plants, and then fed most of it to my compost bin. I noticed a lot of spring bulbs emerging from the ground, but the best thing was coming across a single, purple crocus in full bloom. The first flower of spring!
So when you go outside, take a look around and notice the telltale signs of spring--the budding of bushes and trees, birds carrying twigs to treetop nests, flying and crawling insects, weeds growing out through cracks in the sidewalks, the days getting longer. Spring is here and, yes, I'm glad!
