Rain Rain Go Away - Where Are the Cherry Blossoms?

I don't think it's ever been this lousy outside since our Milwaukee friends have come to visit in Spring and Fall since we moved to DC. Our plan was to take a walk through Dyke Marsh yesterday but it was raining so hard we decided to drive to Quantico to see the NCIS building. The traffic on 495 was even worse than the weather and what was to have been an hour ride there turned in to an hour ride in just a couple miles. So we turned back and got on Route 1 which was at least more scenic and much less crowded. Rather than come home too early in the day we drove by the Tidal Basin. The cherry blossoms are a full week behind schedule. At least the raindrops appeared to be painting a picture along the tops of the Hirshhorn and Air and Space Museums. You really need to use your imagination. When dinner time rolled around the clouds peeled back just for a minute to reveal an interesting sky over Alexandria. There were threats of even a tornado last evening. Today it is so windy it's hard to walk. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a better tomorrow. I need some sunshine!
