Spring Has Sprung

Last year, I was taken by surprise by the beauty of our neighborhood come springtime.  And this year, I've been so excited to see it burst out in flowers and greenery again.  I'm glad the landlords take the time to plant the bulbs for crocuses, tulips, hyacinths, lilies, and daffodils all around the apartment blocks.  It's a completely unexpected joy to be walking next to traffic and yelling people, kicking trash out of the way and suddenly be enveloped by the scent of freshly opened hyacinths!  We're called the Garden of Queens for a reason!
