                                      Ah, spring. The hydrangeas are budding back to life, the groundcover in our stretch of Rock Creek Park behind the  dog park  is afire with  Spring Beauty  and  Lesser Celandine . Our community garden has a burgeoning crop of arugula and tender lettuce shoots setting forth. Our cherry tree is about to bloom! The kids are crawling all over the playground and picking everything in sight on our walk home from school. Skipping, picking 'onions' and teeny-tiny little white and purple flowers from the middle of a sea of...yellow pesticide application flags. Cr*p.
