B-E-A-utiful

Well, here we are again. However, we are here without all of that retched white stuff covering the ground. Now that we have escaped the ungodly, death grip of winter, I am really starting to enjoy this amazing weather that has befallen the greater DC area. For the past week, it has been in the 80s every day. Now all of you that hail from my previous stomping grounds are thinking, "80s?! That's disgusting! I bet's the humidity is physically dripping out of the air. I know it is here!" Well, all I have to say to you is.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! It's gorgeous here. I didn't think I could love spring/summer any more than I did back in the south, even with all of the humidity that is mandatory with high temperatures. The humidity is next to nothing and it's fantastic. The irony of this is that our realtor (my favorite person who said that it really doesn't snow that much here in the DC area...) said that we should be very thankful for the ceiling fans in all of our rooms because the humidity here can be close to unbearable. (I'm sure this is the case for most people that don't hail from the swampland with mosquitos as the state bird and sweating as the state pastime.) The animals and I have been enjoying this amazing weather and all of the beautiful blooms on our deck each day. We don't have to eat dinner inside each night because it is still light until 8 and warm until 10. My poor padre has been suffering from horrible allergic reactions to all of the pollen in the air. Again, HAHA to you because we have just now gathered a light dusting on the grill. I'm sure our day is coming and that we will be totally dumped on and I won't be able to see out of my mucus filled eyes, but until then, HAHAHA. Now that we've been through our first Cherry Blossom Festival (which was truly incredible), I would ask that you start making your reservations soon because I feel like we will definitely fill up at the Chateau du Jones for the summer season. Grab your walking shoes and we're gone!
