Its Spring Time-Happy Hours Outdoors

The THD Court Yard in Bloom with Cyclamen and other Spring Flowers 

 Last Friday was the first this year that our Happy Hour was held outdoors.  It was a perfect sunny day at 72F with no wind. It was also an advance celebration of St Patricks Day. Besides the standard hors d'oeuvre and drinks, We have special cocktail - The Mint Martini. It was served by our new bartender Tom. This was my first time to have this cocktail. It was delicious and plan on partaking it again.  

When does spring begin? For some, it’s the second Sunday in March, when we turn our clocks forward by an hour in the United States. For others, it’s when they first realize they’ve finished dinner and it’s still light out, or when the first crocuses poke up through the snow. Is it when you can go outside without a jacket and not feel a chill? When you pack away the down bedding and down jackets for another year? In the Northern Hemisphere, the vernal equinox will officially take place this Tuesday, March 19, at 11:06 p.m. Eastern. The spring equinox  is the time at which the sun crosses the plane of the equator towards the relevant hemisphere, making day and night of equal length

I took some pictures of the flowers blooming in the THD Court Yard after the Happy Hour. I am delighted to share it with you.
