Spring has sprung!


At last! The NY winter refused to go quietly this year, but the past few weeks have been a glorious reward. Now, for someone who grew up in a land of two seasons (TX=4 weeks of winter and endless summer) spring has grown to become truly a rebirth of my love for New York City, and I appreciate it more with each passing year. Its not just because my birthday is in the spring, which formerly served as my reason for liking spring. After trudging through piles of snow (so many times this winter) and wearing layers upon layers of clothing and the sun setting at 3 p.m. and consuming more coffee than one should simply to stay warm, spring is NY's resurrection!

Sidewalk dining, sunny afternoons in the park, smiles on the faces of New Yorkers and everyone suddenly wants to take their dogs on a walk! I swear the amount of dogs I've seen in the last few weeks has increased exponentially! My mood has also increased exponentially, as has the amount of visitors we've housed in our Harlem apartment. I just had to write to say- Spring, I love you!
