Walking around Battery Park City on a sunny, if chilly, afternoon, we found a sign that spring is eventually coming: witchhazel in bloom in Teardrop Park.

Friday Afternoon in Williamsburg: Spring Fever in February at East River State Park


We lingered all morning in beautiful Long Beach, and after getting back to Brooklyn and having a late lunch at home, with sunny skies and a temperature of 67, we decided to walk over to the waterfront on this freakishly mild February day. A number of young people with early spring fever also were out there, enjoying East River State Park.










On our way out, we saw a pile of dirty snow, reminding us that tomorrow winter will return and will be here for another five weeks. Sigh.
