It's spring in DC!

It is such a beautiful day here in the D.C. area- tell me again why I continue to live in upstate NY?

Although the leaves on the trees aren't quite out yet- they are ready to pop.....

and the crocuses are in full bloom.

I think Scoobie is quite comfortable with his "grandparents" - here he is relaxing after an exciting walk through the neighborhood.

We are also sitting outside, having a cool drink and enjoying the sun! The birds are singing, many people are grilling outside and the air is rich with the fragrance of steak & ribs, and there is a baseball game going on in the park nearby - we can hear the announcer and the crack of the bats!

And for those of you who read Erika's blog and have read about the possums in the yard- here is one "playing possum" that I couldn't resist.
