Spring in New England: A Wicked Good Time

Every year, after seven months of torture winter, spring {supposedly} arrives in New England for the long haul. And all hell breaks lose.

People claim that Bostonians don’t know how to drive in the rain, but I claim they don’t know how to function in the warmth. The T breaks. The turkeys come out. The Bruins lick opponents. The Barking Crab resembles the Hunger Games. And girls will quite literally fight each other to get the perfect Instagram of millennium pink blossoms. I sh*t you not there was a line of women with iPhones standing under a tree on my commute home last week. Hope they don’t have the same followers.

But, it’s all worth it. I learned that ten years ago when I first moved to Boston. That first day when it’s warm enough to don Forever 21 daisy dukes a sundress in the Common…everyone may lose their mind a little bit, but our spirits sure are lifted.

ANYWAY the point of this all is there’s a lot of good around here in the springtime, namely a lot of Instagram heavens New England flower farms. We scooted down to Johnston, Rhode Island last weekend for a couple hours at Wicked Tulips Flower Farm. A couple minutes in I almost forgot about the photo ops. The U-Pick part is just half the fun, if it weren’t for the 63 family photo sessions going on I would have wanted to park in the fields all day.

Like the aforementioned brains of all New Englanders, Wicked Tulips Flower Farm gets NUTS. You would have thought we were in Disney World. Tickets must be purchased ahead of time, and I cringe for every person who drove in a single file line down that dirt road without knowing this. They sell out days in advance for the weekend.

If you’re planning for next season, hold off until week 2-3 when the fields are more filled in. Don’t wait too long or you’ll look like a basic b*tch following the crowd.

Until next year!
