First signs of spring

Yesterday was above the freezing mark - yeah!  We are looking forward to warmer weather and it is on its way (not that we won't probably get a late storm, at least that's the way it is at home).  The grocery store has put up new (fake) spring flowers around the store, and put out lots of gardening supplies in its seasonal section.  We also saw a crew of workers picking up all the trash along the side of the street that had been buried in snow for months.  I'm hoping that there will eventually be a heavy rain, or a sidewalk sweeper that will remove much of the sand on the sidewalks that constantly makes it into our apartment : )
