Blue Skies and Spring Ahead

It was a brilliant sunny day with beautiful cloudless blue skies - a nice change except for the cool temperatures. But without the wind it made for a wonderful walk this morning on the Mall. Everything looked crisp and clean. The crowds and buses around the air and space museum were unusually large for January. Maybe because there is an extensive renovation planned over the next few years - people want to see the place before it closes. What was most lovely to stumble upon was the unexpected surprise of little bulb flowers in bloom in the southern exposure of the Sackler museum gardens. They looked even more gorgeous considering the month and season we are in! So the count down is now on for spring and there is evidence to prove it. Against the blue skies were so many of the city’s monuments and landmarks standing out stunningly against the backdrop. Needless to say it was a lovely walk overall and one of the reasons we like living in this neighborhood. The Midwest suffers from winter just about all year. Here, there are really four seasons.
