Ridiculously early, for us anyway. We've had an unusually warm winter and the projected highs this week are in the low 70s. The tulip trees and star magnolias are blooming away and even the regular trees are starting to show hints of green. The daffodils and tulips are starting their shows.

These pansies are waiting to be planted. Sadly they took out the old ones even though they still had some life left. I always feel a little sad for those plants.

I took this one yesterday after the parade. This park is down by the Department of the Interior. Gorgeous tulip trees but they haven't filled the fountain yet.
