Even though my head and heart is still with Boston, I thought bringing
some sunshine and flowers to the blog today would help put some
perspective on life and help us cherish the small things. I love
Washington DC in the spring - unlike Boston, the weather usually warms
up a bit earlier, and those gorgeous Cherry Blossoms surrounding the
Tidal Basin near the mall certainly are something to see - even if you
aren't a tourist! I'm truly a very lucky girl to live in such a
beautiful, clean city with so much history around me! I often take it for granted,
so I decided this past weekend to hop on the metro with a friend
and walk the National Mall. I hadn't visited our monuments since last
summer and it was refreshing to take it all in again. I hadn't spent
time at the Tidal Basin with the Blossoms in full bloom since I first
moved to the Washington DC area 9 years ago, so it was high-time I
visited again. What a sight! The beautiful buds prompted me to clean off
our patio at home and spruce it up with fresh flowers and accessories.
My husband and I love sitting outside every evening to have dinner and catch up on our day. It's our favorite part of the evening and adding fresh blooms to the
mix makes the patio a lot more inviting!

those cherry blossoms are beautiful!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute little patio decor!
ReplyDeleteThat IS a cute little patio decor. I wonder if you're a neighbor to my mom. The patio looks identical. Plus, she is receiving mail for a Jill Pritchard Ghareeb and we don't know where to forward it! The front desk doesn't seem to know either. How to make contact, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteSo nice meeting you, Deb! Thanks for stopping by with our mail!
