Japanese blossom time!

Under the cherry tree on the moss

Enjoying ice cream on the bench

Stopping to smell the flowers

The Forsythia

Meditation

Typical Eila- being silly

Visiting the stables on the way home

We are celebrating the cherry blossoms now ...I cannot believe its been a year already! Eila will be 2 in a few days! We went out to see some of the show of flowers at Kenwood- a neighborhood nearby where EVERY STREET is lined with pink blossoming trees. Its is gorgeous. Eila and I ate frozen lemonade today and enjoyed the sunshine together. She loves to say "Japanese" and "Cherry Blossom" and "Eila's so silly" and to please me she says "Mommy look- forsythia!" because I love it so much when the bright yellow bushes bloom. We are finally beginning to see the glint of true Spring now and the end of a VERY VERY VERY long and snotty, coughing, yucky Winter. Tomorrow we're off to the tidal basin to see the real display in DC!
