Three Sure Fire Ways To Tell That Spring Has Arrived in Boston

1. The Kaufmans go with the Lassiters to a Sox-Yankee game at Fenway.

                         

2. Trees that were budless and bulbs that had barely broken ground simultaneously explode - transforming Winter into Spring for about three weeks before we slam into Summer.

                           

3. Hundreds of  lilacs bushes bloom in Audubon Park for the 40,000 Mothers' Day visitors. (Some of us cheat and show up a day early to escape a crowd that is larger than a sold out Fenway stadium.)

                              

Welcome to Boston. We wait a long time for Spring, but when it arrives, there's nothing better!
