Spring Is Coming


Yesterday, the sky wrapped New York City in a beautiful shade of blue.  The temperature reached 60 degrees.  That combination meant perfect weather for happy hour with the girls at work.

At happy hour, we noticed how the signs of spring were bringing pleasant changes to the city.  People traded apartments for parks. Strangers laughed and smiled, their faces visible when no longer hidden behind scarves and hats. People sat outside to eat at restaurants. A man at our restaurant actually held the door open for me.  Held the door open!

Of course, the niceties will be short lived.  It’s supposed to be 40 degrees tomorrow with a chance of snow sometime this week.  But, the good weather definitely whetted a few New York appetites for the coming of spring.
