This is my last spring for a while

I'm moving to Mumbai soon. We have two seasons there: unbelievably wet, and appallingly wet. The joke's on them: I'm a cajun: I call those both "moderately dry, with a touch less humidity than the Delta".

But I will miss fall, and these early days of spring, were it not for this motherfucking Indian Winter (seriously: find the Groundhog. Kill him.) I will miss the cherry blossoms here in DC, though I'm afraid they all just froze to death.

on strings and props from our pulling it back up a year and a half ago. The developer planted it in a shallow bowl of shale. I'm amazed it made it through it's first season! The house is about 20 years old now and it's an original fixture.

They didin't really get a winter at all and the cold will throw them off a bit, but they'll still bloom and produce fruit.

Just make sure to let us all know that you arrived safely!
