Spring daffodils

Maybe you’ve noticed that it’s full-on daffodil season in New York right now.

These happy yellow flowers are always a welcome reminder that Spring. Is. Here. But also that there is an incredible diversity of form in nature. A favorite place to see this live is the conservatory gardens in Central Park at 103rd Street and Fifth Avenue. But in case we can’t all get there, a little gallery of daffodil variety courtesy of Flickr!

Spring snowdrops

Since it’s spring, I thought it would be nice to share some of what makes spring comforting to me–all the flowers! Especially the ones that tell us spring is on the way. The first flowers up are usually snowdrops.

This looks like a great place to stop for a rest, enjoy a picnic, or to soak up some sun before a long, meditative walk.

This Spring Break, I’m finding a little bit more time to (safely) get out and walk, explore how things are changing to really declare that spring is here.

Shout out to comforting food creators!

So far our comforting content is mostly animal, whether real, drawn, folded, or crafted otherwise.

Anyone making or dreaming of any comforting food*? Especially but not limited to students in Hospitality Management! Share your pictures here–posts on this site are mostly pictures with a few sentences, so they probably won’t take too long to create. Save that time for more comfort food!

Or save that time for saying more! If you want to write a longer post, consider contributing to The Buzz, an OpenLab project for student voices. Find instructions, and read and comment on other students’ contributions.

*your comforting food does not need to resemble an animal!
