cherry blossom diary

The cherry blossoms are not its best yet, I think these are 30%.
It has been very cold in these days....

Inspiration

Inspiration has been striking me. And I feel it's near the time to take action. We'll see what happens, I suppose.

Candles

For Earth Hour my friends and I took a picnic to a park by the water, overlooking the harbour and the city. We stayed until one in the morning, just talking about nice things. It was a warm night, too.

cold spring rain

I hope it will not rain any more for cherry blossoms...

Finally

Spring is finally here! Everything is turning green, all the trees are budding, and the weather is finally warming up. Our winter was especially long, so I'm very enthused to feel some warmth from the sun and the world lighting up with life.

collecting

Yesterday I collected some coloured glass and pottery that had washed up on the beach. 

plum blossom

I went out to my favorite botanical garden again. Now the plum blossoms were at their best.

By the way, nobody posted since my last contribution.. I miss you all! But I know spring is busy season.

Joy of Freshness

Suddenly I wanted to eat 豆ごはん(mame-gohan) which means.."peas rice"?? Anyway, I cooked the rice which mixed the peas, which seasoned lightly with salt.
There was the fresh and green smell of peas while I shelled them. In other words, this is a smell of spring.

Miðtími

Midterm week. The stress begins.

Ginger.

When all else fails, post cat pictures.

This photo is really old and from like, November or so. But I haven't taken any in a long, long time! I think this is the photo that Taylor chose for yearbook. Or at least it's in his top 2.

Feverfew

Last week was very warm, like middle of April. At last feverfew in our balcony has been bloomed. But I'm already troubled with the hateful provoking aphids!

Independence Day

My post didn't upload yesterday! Oops, oh well. But today is Texas Independence Day! Pride. And I go to the zoo tomorrow (hopefully)!
