Hello Cherry Blossoms | Sue in the City


2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

Yay! Suzie's by the trees and the cherry blossoms. Let the wind go through my hair, so guess what city I'm in? Washington D.C., our nation's capital. It is the seat of power for the United States of America. Our country may be young, but what a history we have.

So join me as the Beast checks out the beauty. This is one of the things I wanted to see: our little cherry blossoms. Remember, I live miles above the treeline. I don't have trees, and beyond not having trees, I don't have trees that blossom. These are very picturesque. I mean, how beautiful! I don't have this at home. I have white, but it's in the form of snow.

They're so soft. It may seem like a silly thing to take pictures of; I don't have dirt. I can't grow regular flowers. I have my hydroponic garden that I'm working on, but it's not quite there yet. Something as simple as this, many people might just say, "What the heck is so interesting about grass?" There is no grass. There is no soil in Kavik.

The ecosystem is such; it's frozen ground. You have the sphagnum moss layer and peat layer. There's no dirt, and there's no grass. I haven't seen grass. I haven't lived near grass for at least 20 years, possibly 30. So that's a unique tree! Oh! That looks like a magnolia, but I've only seen purple ones.

Oh, here! These ones are kind of pink! Look at little purple flowers, little blue ones. This is all liquid water, and I betcha it's not as cold as it is in the Arctic Ocean, you know, or the Kavik River at home. It's not really t-shirt weather. It's not—nothing is blooming. Maybe the snowdrifts are finding new ways to blossom and grow, but that's about it. So, this is a rare treat!
