I'm hoping that spring is here for good, but I also say that as the temperature continues to drop today, with a low in the 30's expected for tonight (though we used our window AC unit last night!). But I think it's official (not counting the calendars that have told us it's spring) because the National Cherry Blossom Festival has been going on for the past week and a half and concludes this coming weekend. Kevin and I took a stroll around the Tidal Basin and the Mall area last weekend on a sunny day, which was packed due to the lack of consistently nice weather since this festival began. I hear it's always crowded during the blooming, but I think everyone was also waiting for a nice day. Nice to see, but I think I'm good.

A new development that I'm looking forward to is a recent sign-up for a CSA (community supported agriculture). While working on the farm last summer, a major focus of our time was harvesting for their weekly CSA (along with the many, many, many hours of weeding). Eating a lot of fresh, local produce (or maybe more importantly, not being able to eat as fresh of produce since then) has reminded me that I think it's important, if you have the means and motivation to participate. The season doesn't start until June for the farm I selected, so I'll let you know how it goes. Which will hopefully be awesome...
