Searching for Signs of Spring

Last year, around this time, I started to search for signs of spring. After a terrible 2011 winter, I was so excited to have my first NYC Spring. Thing is, I didn't know where to look. Now, a year later, I do. After I dropped my kids off at school yesterday, I jogged over to the Conservatory Garden (free!) in Central Park to see how spring was coming a long. It's getting there. I can't wait for these little tulip sprouts to look like this! Even now, in its transition state, the Conservatory Garden is one my favorite places in the city to visit.
