Walking over

Across the way, and resting paddle boats, due to wind.

1. Nice.

Thank you!

2. You're welcome, Solly Mack.

Missed Peak Bloom by a day or so, too hot for me to go yesterday, and out of town Friday, and windy today so even the trees that might have looked better today took a beating.

5. I've only seen the cherry blossoms as a child, looking from the window of a train.

I lived in northern New Jersey, and on spring break we would take the "Silver Meteor" down to visit all my mom's relatives in North Carolina. Mom took some movies (pre-video) from the window--a bit smudgy and shaky. LOL. We always knew that if the timing was right, we would see the CHERRY BLOSSOMS! Then on to the scary Roanoke Rapids. Looking down from the bridge, I always thought that train might fall off and into the river.

That long silver train went all the way down to Miami.

6. Sorry you missed them closer up and more personal,

and very sorry you were

Have lived in DC and environs since '78, and in '84, FLEW over them on the way to my wedding in Florida!

8. BEEN living here since '78, Laura,

IN DC 'til '06, and in suburban MD ever since. Took Metro Rail to get there today. Back to the cottage, a little further out, only about 60 miles, later in the week, to see how spring looks there.

Enjoyed House of Cards too!
