Springtime in New York

     I just love springtime in New York. The weather is getting warmer. The crocuses and daffodils are bursting with color. Purple and pink hyacinths are blooming and fragrant. This week M and I will be digging up all those flowers and shrubs from the front yard and putting them into buckets in anticipation of the [...]
