Life in Rome - A Taste (just a taste) of Spring

The song UMBRELLA is playing on a loop in my head.Finally, we had a sunny day in Rome today. I try not to complain too much on Twitter given what my friends who live on the East Coast in the States are dealing with.  I love snow but it's easy to say that when you don't have to commute in it or shovel it.There are tiny signs of Spring busting out in Rome.  Flowers are starting to bloom, tourists are wearing T-shirts while locals still wear winter coats, and the Farmers Markets are filled with artichokes.I have Spring Fever.  Hardcore.Villa Borghese Park.  I was jogging in the park and saw this peacock enjoying the sunshine. Another sign of Spring, the Rome Marathon. Blooming tree in Villa Borghese Park.       Springy colors. These strawberries from the Testaccio Farmers Market were delicious. A clear sign of Spring.  Roman artichokes. And spring peas at the market in Campo dei Fiori.Photos:  Me and my iPhone
