Spring is arriving early! Last year’s winter season seemed never ending. But this year, the winter has been relatively mild in the Northeast. And it seems to be morphing seamlessly into a March debut!

Spring in New York City is always a very welcome sight to behold. It starts slowly, barely noticeably and then suddenly bursts out in full regalia. Although it’s only March, the daffodils are already blooming.
Daffys in the city!
In New York city, you’ll see lots of spring flowers newly planted along the streets. Although not in an entirely natural setting, they provide a happy sign of wonderful things to come. Set against the gray skies and dull street sidewalks, they pop out of their beds in a startling shock of awakening colors.

Then too, the ever-present flower stalls along Manhattan’s side streets take on an even brighter look with flowers that are specific to spring. Forsythia, tulips, daffodils, all look fresh and bright and new. An inspiration to pick out a few bouquets and bring them home to celebrate the new season!

Be sure to mark the seasons wherever you are. Go out and observe what’s changing and then incorporate what’s new into your home as well. It’s a great way to enjoy a day that doesn’t end, with “A Table For One”. Celebrate!
