Flowers, food, music and fun at Jacaranda Spring Thing!

Home Depot brought a bunch of colorful flowers to the Jacaranda Spring Thing community event on Cortez Hill.

On my way home from Balboa Park, I walked through the Jacaranda Spring Thing neighborhood event being held this afternoon on Cortez Hill. I saw a relaxed gathering of people out in the sunshine, enjoying some food, live music and other fun activities. Home Depot was on hand demonstrating some gardening and patio ideas for anyone interested. It’s still going on as I post this–until 4 o’clock!

I saw folks setting up the Jacaranda Spring Thing on Date Street this morning, as I set out on my walk.
