Oh, this takes me back. When we moved to the U.S from Sweden, we lived in Silver Spring, MD, a northwest suburb of Washington, D.C. Spring time was a favorite, watching the cherry and magnolia trees blossom and going downtown to see the trees around the monuments. Thanks for sharing this beautiful shot and jogging my memory.
My feelings are just fine! I used to be thin skinned, and cared about every little thing anyone said. The army taught me how to be Army Strong. LOL Cherry trees in DC are very pretty. ~Randy
“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be...’ - she always called me Elwood - ‘...in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.’ Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.”~Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey
I am a stay-at-home mom who is coming to grips with the fact that my children are growing up, and that is bitter sweet. I have several pets who understand me including a couple dogs, some beautiful pigeons (yes, pigeons), some chickens who boss me around, and a mourning dove who I believe is God's little whisper to me from heaven. I was a lawyer before I got really serious and became a mom. I love to knit, write, cook, and to take good care of my family. We struggle with my daughter's Reactive Attachment Disorder, and hold hands very tightly sometimes while we withstand the high tide of her challenges. Through it all, I am blessed to have a husband who is the corner piece to my puzzle.

Beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing it! It reminds me of the dogwood trees in bloom around here right now.
Amen to Chickens in the Basements comment! Doesn't seem to have much of anything pretty coming out of there these days!!
