http://urbanhennery.com/ 2008/ 05/ 10/ feels-like-spring/The fruit trees are blooming, as are the tulips, and spring is definitely here. Finally! Today was overcast but strangely warm, it finally started to rain just as the sun went down. I finished 90% of the hard work in the veggie garden today. That involved finishing 3 of the last 4 rows to be dug and raked.

From the bigger crowds bearing canvas bags, to the flower vendors flush with tulips, to the raabs and arugula, to the very first spears of asparagus.
