Here in Washington, lot of people (encouraged by their agents) put their homes on the market during the month  of April.  And there's a reason.

Here in our nation's capital, almost every tree and puts out beautiful blossoms during the month of April.  There are the famous cherry trees down by the tidal basin, and there are trees in almost everyone's front yard.  In April, Washington is, I think, at it's best.

It's the time of the year when you don't mind walking the dog because you see amazing combinations of dogwoods, redbuds, cherry trees and azalea bushes.  I especially love the azaleas when they are not groomed to within an inch of their lives!

This week, my little redbud tree is in full bloom, as is my neighbor's cherry tree.   And some of the ground cover is starting to flower. 

It's no wonder this is not only the best time of the year for tourists to visit Washington!  It's also the best time of the year for sellers to have their homes look totally fabulous to buyers - and the weather is even perfect!
