Things are looking beautiful around here. The picture above is in our front yard. Cindy doesn't think these hyacinth are giving there all, but I think they are very pretty. And the daffodils are in drifts throughout the yard. They bow down when it rains. "The Ladies" lift up their faces when the sun shines. Lovely.
It is cherry blossom time in DC. And it is spring break for some schools. On Wednesday Eric and I drove around the tidal basin to see the trees and their blossoms. And the buses of people. And the traffic. The trees are beautiful and in full blossom. No cherries will come of all this. That's too bad.
Then we went to the arboretum. I'd read that they have cherry trees, too. They do. Not nearly as many as the tidal basin, but enough. What I thought was special was the tulip magnolias. They have so many varieties. All the trees above are of that genus. Stunning. I understand that the azaleas at the arboretum should not be missed. Okay, I won't miss them.
Eric is standing by one of the magnolias. He would have loved to have rambled over the grounds. He wanted to dump me out of the car at the tidal basin so I could see the cherry trees close up. But my knee has been very painful lately. I would have loved to make him get out of the car so he could walk off some of that energy, but he had to be content with driving.
