The Wooster Square Blossom Blog Announce
Peak Poppadge Dates for 2014!!
The end is near! Of winter that is. And what can we say? Since this is a family blog, let's just say to winter... good riddance, hasta la vista, its been real & been nice but it hasn't been real nice, don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you, see ya- wouldn't want to be ya, winter- really its not you... its me, don't call us, we'll call you....
The Blossom Blog Mainframe, in collaboration with Google, the NSA, Eric Snowden, IBM's Watson, and more importantly... flipping quarters 5 out of 7, help to determine when our Historic World Famous Wooster Square's Cherry Blossoms will Peak.
We use history, weather, mathematics, photography, snacks and sometimes smelling salts. Following our Big Bright Beautiful Blossoms can make you hungry and downright dauntingly disturbingly daffy dizzy!
That being said, and based on my budget ($0.00) and that of my counterparts in Washington (2,000,000,000+), it would seem they would crush me in our Blossomations. (estimates of when our blossoms will be at peak).
Sound complicated? Not really, all you have to do is hold your device and scroll. Let us crunch all the numbers while you crunch on a Cheryl's special pie from Wooster Street's Abate's (pepperoni and garlic well done).

I can draw the following from comparing the two charts,
how many days our peak has been since theirs, because its warmer down there.... for those without cable or internet.
In 2011 our Peak was 28 days past Washington's
In 2012 our Peak was 17 days past Washington's
And in 2013 our Peak was 12 days past Washington.
What does this all mean?
Who knows, really.
The Blossom Blog Predicts our
World Famous Wooster Square
Peak will be
April 24 through April 29
So this years prediction is 17 past their peak.
I like that thought.
I see green creeping in!
The fuse it lit, flower fanatics finally!
See you April 27th at
Wooster Square's Cherry Blosssom Festival!
Peak Day***
(assuming they cooperate,
but we still party like its 199blossomtime!)
Don't forget my show runs though
Friday March 21 at Creative Arts Workshop!
See you at CAW

(Fence Foto Fun)
or
See You Round the Square!
