We saw on the national news last night that the cherry trees in DC are already in bloom! Pretty sure this means that we have zero chance now of seeing them on our upcoming spring trip. Boo! We had all been discussing this previously, but now it is for sure. Since our December and January weather had been like March and April, while last October was like January, our own local cherries trees had already bloomed once and as they started to leaf had been hit by a 3-day frost. Now they are starting to bloom a second time. We had hoped that since DC had snow on the ground on several of our warm days, that perhaps their blooming season would stay on a normal schedule, but evidently not. Oh, well.
Our spring bulbs have all sprouted and we have actually seen daffodils in bloom here! We were talking about how we had all never seen the DC cherry trees in bloom and thought it must be because it is hard to predict exactly when to go to see them. With the weird climate changes these days, it becomes nearly impossible! We're a little disappointed, but still looking forward to the trip.
Oh! Happy Groundhog Day!
