After months of cold, the warm temps are bringing people outside again in the Lehigh Valley.
It was game-on at the Sand Island basketball courts, where temperatures in the 70s drew a crowd, celebrating sports and spring.
Meanwhile in downtown Bethlehem, this is the weather people have been praying for.
“This weather is just, physically and emotionally it just makes you want to do more,” said Ashley Golden, Moravian student.
There’s a spirit of renewal on Main Street, where three generations of the Carter family are catching up, including 11-month-old Belle.
“This is Belle’s first spring. Yes it is, and she absolutely loves being outdoors. And I think she’s trying to be on camera,” said Jillian Carter, of Emmaus.
“It’s wonderful to enjoy the weather, and she loves to be outside and watch the people go by, so it’s really a pleasant experience and that’s what we enjoy about downtown Bethlehem,” said Brenda Carter.
On city benches and open spaces, springtime warmth announces the renewal of the Lehigh Valley, and a new season of prosperity.
