I know it doesn’t look like it now, but this week marks the official beginning of spring. Soon our beloved Boston Common will be filled with growing green grass, fully leafed trees, and lots of bustling activity under the warm sun. As America’s oldest public park, it will be nice to see tradition continue with festivals, live music, runners, skaters, dogs catching Frisbees, baseball and Quidditch games, people strolling through the park, and readers reading beneath the historical trees. Although you are still stuck inside hiding from the cold, just bare with it for a little longer. A beautiful escape is just around the corner!
