Hi Neighbor!
I hate spring in Philadelphia. There, I said it. Hate might be a strong word—but it fits. Stick with me.
Now, I’ll give credit where it’s due: the start of baseball, March Madness, Rita's opening… all good things. But I’d much rather be sitting in the stands watching the Fightins’ without a ski hat, gloves, boots—and yes, hand warmers. I’m soft, I know.
I’ve lived here most of my life, minus a few years in my college/early 20s era when I was down South.
