After two—now three—days of non-stop rain, I channeled my inner Michigander and as a dedicated Bloomologist then trudged out into the cold drizzle with my trusty sidekick, Blossom Blog Dog Roxie, all bundled up like we were storming a winter fortress. Armed with a towel to cover my poor camera (which apparently isn’t as waterproof as my determination), we set off on a mission to see how our cherry blossoms fared.
The forecast had us laughing in the face of the storm (okay, maybe crying a little when it turned ugly and seriously wet). But dripping wet and full of grit, we returned to Wooster Square only to discover that our trees have advanced to Stage 4—peduncle elongation in all its stretched-out glory. Over at Hughes Place, the big blossoms are just waiting for a bit of sunshine to kick their bloom into high gear!
Remember, peak blossoms are declared when 70% of the trees are in full bloom. Until then, I’ll be here, capturing these fleeting, drenched moments—because sometimes, the most beautiful things in life are found in a little chaos. Stay dry and keep blooming blossom buddies!
Rain drips, petals glow
Distilled beauty in each drop
Spring sings in wet hues
