The daffodils and crocus were freezing this morning as temperatures dropped below 32 degrees. But at 12:45am, the true sign of spring rumbled through the midtown tunnel.
Truly a New York “must see,” the elephants from the Ringling Brother’s circus made their ceremonial trip through the midtown tunnel and across 34th Street to Madison Square Garden. Friends, families and children gather to see this amazing event and cheer the elephants as cameras flash wildly. I have witnessed this incredible event many years now and have come to know it as a true sign of spring.
May the spring flowers bloom in your neighborhood, may your closets lighten up with the warmer days ahead, and may your body move naturally toward the glorious fruits and vegetables of the season. May the joy of a child at the circus, watching the elephants lumber into the ring, bring a carefree spirit to your heart.
Happy Spring…at last! :)
