Spring!

Bostonist loves the little signs of springtime and impending summer: Over the last week, the dogwood in our yard has gone from bare branches to blazing white blooms to bright green leaves; rowdy high schoolers have emerged from wherever they spend the winter months to re-populate the park near our house, drinking and carousing by the trees behind the basketball courts every night until the SPD breaks up their party; Basketball courts and baseball diamonds all over the city are once again full of kids and life. But to us, nothing signals the coming beach weather like, well, a beach towel. We saw this awesome tropical one hanging out to dry yesterday morning near a construction site in the South End.
