Pamela: You are so lucky to be able to see so many beautiful cherry blossoms, please post a photo if you can, here in the frozen tundra we do not have the opportunity to see them.
I am sure I will miss the cherry blossom season again this year, I don't think I will have gotten vaccinated by the time the flowers are in bloom. Oh, well...
I hope you get to enjoy the blossom this year.
ReplyDeleteI love how they can time it!
