The first bud is out there...

I've been neglecting my blog of late and realized this week that I left it hanging for the past two weeks with my rather moody winter blues post, so thought I'd quicly share with you that my blues is on its way out...spring has sprung! In theory at least...

It's still freezingly cold and I'm still so over my winter wardrobe, but on Sunday when John and I schlepped our lazy bums across Central Park to meet a friend for lunch on the Upper East Side, I stopped next to a tree right outside our apartment building. 'John! Look at this!', I shouted. "It's a...a...little leaf!" and true's bob (good old SA saying!), there it was - the entire tree was covered in these little baby leaves. 

If that was not enough of a sign for me that spring is in the air, I could just look in the mirror at my allergy-ridden eyes and snif my watery nose to know that it's true. Now if only the heat would come and join Spring, I would be all smiles!
