Signs of Spring (plus last minute - Lookie! Lookie!)

I set out this morning, buoyed by the 60 degree weather reports, in search of signs of spring. A little green? Anywhere? I looked and looked, and could not find a sprig nor bud. As I walked I began to notice a different kind of sign: outdoor seating! Yes, the days of a breezy coffee in the sun are surely just around the corner......

| Umbrellas popped up like tulips at The Piazza |

| Windowboxes and seats waiting for the Lunch Hour at Darling's Diner |
 |
| Seating at One Shot Cafe |
As happy as I was to find these man-made signs of spring, I felt a little stymied by the lack of crocus and daffodil I sought. And then.... Esther! With her keen eye, and snooping nose.......
Aha! It's Green.
Hurray for Spring!

Just got word that I'm interviewed on this delightful blog. Thank you, Yoola, for a great group of questions to answer and which made me think!!
Thanks for the interview orna, it was really enriching to listen to you !
Not quite spring here yet. I'm sure it will come soon enough. Love the bright yellow umbrellas but who is that woman on the screen or is it a billboard?
It's our neighborhood piazza with a HUGE screen TV.
