Ready for Spring!

Whole New York City is ready for spring. The winter was exceptionally cold with a lot of snow, really tough. The beautiful snow I was so excited about last month, was just a little bit of all the snow that covered the streets this winter.
Now, I can't wait for all the snow to vanish (there are still some dirty icy piles on the streets in Brooklyn), and temperatures to be above zero again. And I can feel it's not only me, the whole city is fed up with the snow and the cold, and ready for spring!
This weekend was supposed to be snowy, rainy, and cold. Instead, the sun was shining, sparrows singing, dogs playing in the parks.. There was a whole different vibe in the city.
On Saturday I had a great walk on Manhattan Bridge and Bowery, and there I found this man playing urban golf, I loved it! Then yesterday at Union Square there were some art stands, the park was filled with happy people, and two guys were giving free hugs away. A hug and the warmth of the sun, I was a happy girl ready for spring :D. There was also this guy making great artwork of sand (see picture), sadly, today the rain they promised, arrived, so the colors are flushed away..
This city is buzzing with life, happiness, great and strange people, and a lot of fun! Yes, NYC is ready for spring and so am I.
