DC in bloom

[greenbean]

Makes me want to go back to D.C. Winter here has been very mild (a nice change from the unusual chill of the last 2 winters) but spring in the Pacific Northwest is always wet, cool, and a little miserable, if only because I can't get outside to enjoy the spring flowers that are showing up, or do any early planting. We have daffodils, galanthus (snowdrops), Japanese pieris and others in bloom, with cherries and plums starting to bloom at lower elevations.

Seems like most of the U.S. except for the Northwest is experiencing an early spring. Meanwhile here winter is going out with one last storm. How I envy you all.
