Back down to earth!

Today has been a quiet day.  Apart from a short trip out for some much needed stretching at Pilates, I have been in the house all day, dealing with everyday chores.


The bird feeders were mostly empty after the snow but most of it has now melted away and hopefully that will be the last for the winter.  

Everyone says that this has been the coldest winter in many years and fears that the Spring will be cut short as the warmer weather gets closer.


In Washington the Cherry Blossom festival season is underway (although this photo - the only cherry blossom I have seen so far - was taken at the Palace of Arts in San Francisco).  Over the first weekend in April there will be a street fair, parade and fireworks in Washington.  The cold weather has held back the blossom itself and it is now predicted that the peak flowering time - when around 70% of the blossom will be out - is likely to be in the second week of April.


Unusually I have only taken one photo today - of this loaf of bread made in the bread-maker.  

It was good - although not quite up to the standard of the sourdough from the Boudin bakery...

I shall try and do better tomorrow!
