Still Life with Robin: Capitol Unbound!

 By Peggy Robin

 

I just saw this on Twitter (thanks, Walter Deleon #DCStatehood, whoever you are!)

 


Quick….before something happens that results in the Capitol being walled off again! Get yourself down there and stroll the grounds while you can! Take your children/guests from overseas/people who’ve never been to DC before and enjoy the open vistas. And you’ve got a brilliant day to do it. Tropical Storm Elsa has passed us by without much more than a good soaking, and now we can enjoy a weekend of sunshine without excessive heat (at least, for a July in DC). As the Capital Weather Gang scores it, a 9 out of a possible 10. “There might be some July days that are nicer, but not many.”  A bit hotter tomorrow, perhaps, but still a good day to enjoy the reopened grounds. One thing this last year has taught us is not to take any day for granted!
