April Fool

I love cherry blossoms. But Cincinnati weather, being pretty true to form, is playing quite the trick on me this year. It was almost, not quite, but almost, warm the other day. I found these pretty far over my head but went for it anyway. This morning started with snow flurries and a bit of rain. Now, some weak sunshine. A true April day.

Cherry blossom is so pretty...... We have one in our garden but it is a good few weeks off blossoming yet unfortunately.

Beautiful. The one trip we took to Washington DC for the Cherry Blossom festival, it came a blizzard and about a foot of snow, and we saw no cherry blossoms.
