Two blocks next to a very bustling political scene is our quiet street that feels like any good old suburban neighborhood. The unusually warm weather has inspired us to get the garden in shape. And to that end, we managed to chop back everything that looked like it needed to be chopped, and were left with what seemed to be early blooming bulbs and vines. Yes, just down the street are all the cherry blossoms that deserve all the attention that they get- but right here, in our little backyard, with our own patio, is a place that not a lot of folks can say they have in a condominium. There's nothing better than to just sit outside when the weather is just right. We had a patio in Wisconsin, and along with the gardens, needed a lot of time an energy to maintain. The older we get, even this little space seems to take more time and energy than you might want to spend. But in this neighborhood, it is really worth the effort.

| Cutting it back last year really made a difference |
 |
| Hope it lasts a while |

| It'll be awhile before the myrtles can compete |
