one of the loveliest things in my home town, Cherry Blossoms blooming around the Tidal Basin. people come from everywhere to enjoy this 1912 gift from Japan framing the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial.
i lifted these photos from the Washington Post, sent in by readers.

My dogwood is blooming now. I wish the old lady next door would cut that horribly overgrown and misshapen cedar tree down that's hovering over it so it can get some sun and be allowed to grow.

Aww. I was away when my three big pear trees did the petal snow. When I came home today all I saw was the white drifts on the lawn. I am very saddened.
