Spring!

Spring arrived on September 21st and it is actually a day that is noticed here.  People talk about it on the radio, and guys are out on the street selling flowers.  My friend Lisa said she saw people selling balloons too.  I thought the city looked green when we arrived, but it is even more green now.  And the flowering trees have been beautiful:

There were some purple ones that were in bloom a little earlier, but I didn't get a shot of them. Maybe next year! But I did take a few more pictures of some flowers that we see all over:

This has been a very nice time of year - when we don't need heat or air conditioning! I am trying to enjoy each beautiful day and bracing myself for summer.
