cherry blossoms, flowers & sun

cherry blossoms, flowers & sun

I know I talk a whole lot about the weather. Ok, I get it. You get it. I hate winter. And for awhile, it seemed like spring would never get here. March fooled us with a snowstorm and Easter was fah-reeee-zing! But, you guys, guess who decided to show up afterall? That's right, spring!

One of the things I love love love about living so close to DC is we get the cherry blossoms every year. I like feeling like a tourist just like everyone else. When I first saw them this year, the buds hadn't even bloomed yet. When I went today, they had already hit their peak. So I missed the blossoms at their peak but it didn't stop me from taking out my bike and riding around the city today which just really hit the spot. And Hains Point, man. It is the place to go. 

Other fun activities that have me spreading happy cheer: buying flowers for the garden and patio we just finished building in the backyard, filling the kitchen up with tulips, taking walks with family, driving with the windows down, smoothies. The little things, you know. 

So really spring... why don't you stick around for a bit?

I'm completely slacking tonight. There's some stuff I need to get done but I'm putting it off to blog. That's right. My priorities are completely in line. The truth is, I'm having a bum day. No scratch that. I had a marvelous day. It was beyond gorgeous out and I spent the entire day outdoors with some people that I love a whole lot. It's more like having a bum night. Let's just chalk it up and say it's a girl thing where stupid hearts get involved. I'd like to veto a lot of the things that little pitter patter machine is making me feel tonight. 

Can we all agree it's nothing a glass of wine can't fix? ;)
