Cherry blossoms!

The cherry blossoms are blooming and it's free Tuesday at the BBG: http://www.bbg.org/exp/cherries/map.html

Depending on how much it rains tonight/tomorrow, they may not be around for long

    Yup. They close at 6PM, but I predict that I'll come down with swine flu promptly at 4:30P and have to leave work.

    Are there any doctors reading this blog who could write us all notes so we can leave work early?

    I checked the online map on Sunday and none of the trees in the main "concourse" were even slightly in bloom. It's so funny how cherry trees bloom so quickly and then it's over with so fast. (There's a sexual analogy in there, somewhere.) ;-)

    The online map is wrong. I was there on Sunday and the trees in the concourse were approaching full bloom. Not quite there yet, but beautiful nevertheless.

    I'll be at the GAP Library getting some writing done, but I might need a break by then. Call me when/if you're heading over.

    I promise to have my phone with me this time! :oops:

    Wow, beautiful pics - thanks Em!

    I checked the map yesterday and it had most of the trees in full bloom. If I wasn't at work, I would have gone. But, I have Friday off and if it's nice out, I am going!

    They'll definitely still be out. I think the advantage of Tuesday was that it was free. It might rain tomorrow though. And it's definitely supposed to rain on Saturday.
