Snowshoeing in DC
I never thought I would go snowshoeing in Washington, DC. Over the weekend, we had 8″ to 10″ of snow. Unlike Maine, that is enough to shut down the city. I went snowshoeing in Soapstone Valley today to get some fresh air. The best word to describe snowshoeing is rambunctious. Snowshoes allow you to go through areas of the woods and forest you normally would or could not go in other seasons. It is a wild ride. Click on the image for a larger view.

Magnolias at Dinner
We had a beautiful view of magnolia blossoms from our dinning room table this evening. The buds are just beginning to open. Last year, we lost these blossoms to a snow storm that froze the buds. We are hoping the weather will stay warm enough to protect these. Click on the image for a larger view.
Saturday, Part 2
The snow stopped in the afternoon of March 12. The temperature would drop below zero that night, turning the magnolia blossoms brown the next day. Last year, we saw a spectacular display. Click on the image for a larger view.
