Hello, Spring -- are you there?

We're getting clobbered by a nor'easter today and into tomorrow. It's cold, rainy and windy and I needed something uplifting. Usually we would have planted our balcony window boxes by now, but this year we'll have to wait.



I took these pictures last May. Our south-facing balcony allows us to plant a little earlier than some others. (Yes, that spikey-looking feature is the Washington Monument.)
