The Trouble with Birthdays...

...in the Spring is that you never know what you'll get...weather wise! (what did you think I meant?)

This year my Dear Daughter took me on a DC Harbor Cruise to see the Cherry Blossoms in bloom. Or at least that was the plan.  The blossoms blossomed early. Then it got cold. Then the wind blew. Then they were gone!
It was very cold on the cruise! But I was warmed by the time, attention and the planning that my daughter did on my behalf. (She tells me that's my love language)

Spring?

The very next day, I mean the very next day - it was warm and pleasant and well Spring like! But then that is the trouble and the triumph of birthdays in the Spring.
