rosefoxYesterday there was a thunderstorm with lots of wind, and then it... snowed today? I think? For about three seconds? We were watching it rain and then the rain very briefly looked like snow and not rain, and then it stopped and a few minutes later we had blue skies. This is pretty normal spring weather here—maybe a little early for thunderstorms, but only a little, and I remember occasional Passover snow when my brother and I were kids.
Last weekend J and I did indeed walk to the Brooklyn Museum and had some very nice weather for it; we took off our jackets for the walk there but were glad to have them on the way back when the clouds came in. I took lots of photos of flowers and flowering trees: cherries, magnolias, forsythia, bluebells/grape hyacinths, and more. My kid, who loves yellow, is thrilled that yellow tulips are blooming outside our house. The last photo in that album is the trees on Eastern Parkway, which don't flower but get fuzzy green halos of new leaves.
For anyone who wants to enjoy Brooklyn's local weather from afar, on Sunday at 3 p.m. Eastern there will be a FaceBook Live virtual tour of the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.
