Spring is here

And the air is full of pollen.  But I'm okay with that because everything is in bloom!  (And I have anti-allergy medicine.)

Happy Spring!

Spring flowers

Spring is fully upon us.  Every time I walk anywhere in the city, I try to take the time to enjoy the beautiful flowers in bloom.  I recently got the to spend some time in the garden that surrounds the American Museum of Natural History. 

The sun was shining.

The flowers were beautiful.

I couldn't ask for a better place to knit.

(Madtosh lace in Fig held double.)

Happy Spring,

I love spring! 

As I've mentioned in the past, I also love that NYC does my gardening for me. 

When the plants bloom in the spring it makes me feel like all things are possible.

Please enjoy the flowers with me.
 

Thank you April showers,
Joyce

Park Ave version of spring

Hubbie and I were wandering around the City last week and came across these.

There are huge metal roses all along Park Avenue in Midtown.  They're amazing.  (I've only seen them at night, thus the bad photo.) The bug person in my loves that they have bugs on them. If you look closely at the middle rose, you can see a lady bug!  She's keep away those giant metal aphids! Wait, what do you mean not everyone is having problems with those?  Only me?  Again?

They're an art installation by Will Ryman.  They went up in January (get the feeling that I'm not on the upper east side much?) and will be there until May 31st. 

Which means that maybe I'll get to see them in the daylight,

Spring has sprung!

Finally!  I have to admit that I was getting pretty tired of the snow and cold.  But then I came across these.

The crocuses are blooming.  Aren't they beautiful? It's like mother nature is smiling at me.

I can't help smiling back,
Joyce
