It’s a heatwave weekend – temperature records are expected to be broken today. Spring is a pleasant season here in NYC, so it will be nice to return to seasonal weather in a few days.

Take care of your needs elsewhere. No Please or Thank You, just do as you are asked.
No more ice

The last frost warnings for NYC coincide with tax day, April 15, that’s how I remember it. The chance for ice on the lake in Prospect Park is about zero, so it’s definitely time to put away the ice ladders for the season.

Cast cement would be the perfect medium for these lawn ornaments, but they are still a nice decoration until the grass and flowers come in. I like the juxtaposition of the inanimate, man-made objects with the naturalness of the yard and flower bed. In person, the little robot looks more dog-like, as if it’s the pet of the big one.

Signs of spring: those yellow, purple, and white flowers that start appearing in March … crocuses or croci, call them what you will. The cement bunnies had to endure the winter, but they look just right with the flowers.

Ah, those greedy scavengers, I love them! Today is the first day spring. Winter was cruel, so there will be some celebrating when the warmer weather arrives. Today I may make like Mary Tyler Moore and toss half my sandwich into the air and watch the birds go mad (yes, even for peanut butter). Next stop: summer!
