It’s cold and windy. We thought we were done with temperatures in the 20s and talk of windchill.
There’s not going to be much to see this weekend. The cherry blossoms are still slowly doing their thing but still have some cooking to do. It’s still going to be cool–although mostly not as cold as today–but at least there should be some sun around.
By way of comparison, the bottom was taken exactly one year ago today. By March 21, 2012, we were already one day after peak bloom. You can see more photos from last year here.
In a few weeks, these garden beds, which are right next to the Tidal Basin’s northeast corner, will be bursting with color. It’s the [Floral Library](https://cherryblossomwatch.com/floral-library/) and will have all sorts of colorful blooms. For now, only a few very early tulips are starting to push through.
