Cherry Blossom Festival

I did get the peonies planted. They did not come out of the pots as easily as hoped. I had to plant them individually, but there weren't that many roots to disturb. It's amazing how much smaller that garden looks when planting, as opposed to pulling out grass.

The cherry blossoms are blooming away happily. The festival is in full swing, and some rain even showed up today. Just hit or miss drizzle for a couple of minutes, but it is still rain. Although, after five weeks of nearly no precipitation, we'll take it. Only 0.04 inches since February 23rd. Yikes! Unless some rain really shows up on Friday, we're a shoe in for the driest March on record. Ouch.
