I caught Mama Castle deep into her Yoga session. Here she beautifully demonstrates perfect form in her flawless performance of the Blowing Palm pose. I wish I could do it as well. Sigh.

Have I mentioned that my allergies have gone bezerk? Another way I know that spring has arrived is when I am stuck purchasing every over-the-counter antihistamine known to humanity and taking two to three times as much as I am supposed to, just so I can breathe. Yes, this is tremendously expensive.

Restaurants like to use window boxes filled with flowers as a visual barrier between their sidewalk dining areas and the common sidewalk areas. As a result, flowers such as this are common (although still gorgeous).
Another sign that spring is here.

As soon as the weather begins to improve, the curbside fruit stands reappear like mushrooms after a rain. Generally, the fruits available at these stands are cheaper and of better quality than what you can get in a grocery store. The truly unusual fruits that you can only find at some of these fruit carts can be a little expensive, though.
