Have your fun.

It was drizzling and wet today, so I took a walk in Central Park on the grounds that it wouldn't be quite so crowded as to make social distancing difficult. There were a decent number of people out - more or less what there'd be on an ordinary rainy day in late March.

The magnolias were in full bloom, as were the cherry trees. With the sun behind the rainclouds, it was a shadowless day, and while all the flowers were blooming, without any sunshine, I couldn't see them in their full color. Which felt tremendously fitting for the scenario we're all in right now.

The cherries should be in bloom a few more days. There ought to be a bit of sunshine to see the last of the petals before they're gone.

I can't believe they're all flowering so early! And I miss the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens so much. Spending time under cherry trees has been essential to my spring since 2006. Maybe this week I'll take a long walk down to the Brooklyn Museum and see the cherries there.

Sounds like it's been warmer there than in the midwest. There are buds coming out but nothing in bloom yet.
