I guess people were planting bulbs when I wasn't looking. They're just starting to pop up. And the birds - they're everywhere. I hear them singing and see them tending to their nests.
The apartment building owners hire people to maintain the properties. They cleared fallen leaves in the autumn, plowed the sidewalks of snow in the winter, and now they're putting down mulch in the gardens. They also just steam cleaned the carpets in my building's stairwell and halls. I guess they know there won't be much more salt, sand, or gravel on people's boots. The city's street sweeping resumed on April 1. By the way, in reference to my apartment building, my management company wanted to know by February if I was going to renew my lease September 1. I'm sure many of you are settled into your homes, and know you'll be living their next year, and the year after. But as a single renter, my life is in more of a state of flux. I was able to get some wiggle room out of them, thankfully. I don't know if I'll want to move out of this apartment five months from now - geez.
My parents have a huge avocado tree in their backyard, and my mom sent me eight beauties. I took some to work and made guacamole for my co-workers (who loved it), but also kept some for myself.
Billy loves getting in the tub - even if it still has water in it.
Above, can you see that those guys are playing frisbee on the Quad? Below, the Red Sox opening night at Fenway Park is Monday. I'm looking forward to hearing the excitement again from my apartment windows.
Magnolia blossoms are on their way.
The worms have started coming out.

It's great to have pictures to go with the sounds I hear on our walks to work!
I love you,
