I've had a bunch of photos of D.C. spring that I've been meaning to post on here, but my computer is laaammmme and has been having storage issues, which can make the very act of downloading a chore. BUT! without further ado, here are some pictures of D.C., all pretty in pink.
(Because I will stand by what I said--spring is the best time of year for D.C.)
First up, neighborhood walks, because that's what Sam and I like to do after long days at work.
[so many pretty front gardens in the capitol hill area. i like how the flowers just cascade from these plots.]
[artistic tree outside cvs.]
[these beehives are in front of our ward building and i kind of love them.]
[another call box, this time near dupont.]
[we found this tree filled with oragami cranes and i really, really, really loved it.]
[daffodils in our backyard!]
[and crocuses in the cemetery.]
[this sculpture by saint-gauden is officially titled the mystery of the hereafter and the peace of God that passeth understanding, but it's also called the adams memorial or "grief". it was made as a monument to marian "clover" hooper adams [hnery adams's wife] after she took her own life. such a sad story.]
[i don't know why people use "pansy" in a derogatory way. i mean, yes, they are delicate. but man, they are resilient.]
[and now, what you've all been waiting for, pink cherry blossoms by the tidal basin.]
And now, back to "how things are going for us," I am still pregnant and am outgrowing all of my clothes.
[at 27 weeks with one of the handful of dresses that still fit. this will probably not fit in a couple of weeks. i haven't had much luck finding maternity clothes because you can't try on maternity clothes at target or other retail stores, and ordering things online is hit-or-miss.]
[trying to get a full-body shot by standing on our orange couch.]
[also, sam and i finished the 1000-piece puzzle we were working on! it got hard at the end, because there were just tree and snow pieces left. BUT WE DID IT.]
