Beautiful Wisteria

Finally spring is here! We went from winter, to two days of spring, to full summer heat predicted by tomorrow. Yes, the cherry blossoms came and went. But the city is literally blooming right now. We took a ride to NW DC yesterday for a quick bite and a little shopping. Near the National Cathedral and Wisconsin Avenue neighborhood were not only azaleas in full bloom, but the wisteria was simply marvelous. We drove around a few blocks to see what was going on.  It was amazing the number of homes that showcased this beautiful draping vine. When we walked in our own neighborhood just last week, none of the wisteria was really blooming. But today we found another show stopper. The azaleas are also in full bloom and we have many times driven out to the arboretum to see them “in the wild.” We may not have a chance to get there this year but there are plenty around to see right in front of our noses. This is such a pretty time of year with temps in the 70’s, low humidity, and bright sunny skies. Better enjoy it before it ends.
