I love spring! My bulbs came up, the grass is turning green, the fruit trees are flowering like mad. Instead of one huge park like New York, Washington has many tiny parks. DC is laid out in a grid with a series of diagonal streets laid over it, so that it's full of traffic circles (supposedly intended to provide a place to put the cannons to defend the city in case of attack) and odd triangular blocks of land. This time of year, the circles and triangles become geometric islands of green.
In a few months I may well be posting moaning complaints about the heat and humidity, but for right now, I'm glad to live in an area with four distinct seasons. I suppose there's nothing like two and a half feet of snow to make one appreciate daffodils.
And we're having lamb for dinner. I love lamb. I am so happy we never had a pet lamb.
