Spring arrives just in time for the start of the baseball season

Seen on E.70th street today, when it was sunny and 10 deg C. None of our leaves are out yet but there are some tiny buds.

There are more birds around and Paul saw a raccoon in Central Park this morning. It was an Opening Day for the NY Mets at Citi Field yesterday when they lost in extra innings to the Washington Senators. NY Yankees' first game is tonight against the Astros in Houston. They aren't doing much better, trailing 6-0 at the top of the 6th. The Yankees first home game is on Thursday.
