Spring at last! So, I decided to go see the cherry blossoms!
I went to a place called Sakura Shuku Gawa in Hyogo Prefecture. There were a bunch of people eating rice balls, drinking beer and playing cards under the blooming cherry trees.
I wanted to read a book that would fit with my surroundings...so I chose:
I took more pictures of the cherry blossoms. Today I have only posted the ones I took from my i-phone because I have misplaced my camera cord thingy... argh.
Tomorrow I am off to Tokyo for meetings. Will be spending half my day in a hotel room getting ready for the meeting and doing an online crash course on how to use PowerPoint.
I also need to get my picture taken somewhere because I have forgotten (yet again) to renew my passport. Yikes!
Happy Easter, happy spring and happy reading!

sounds like a lovely way to spend a day, sitting beneath a blossoming cherry tree!
have fun enjoying your spring and good luck with the power point and finding your camera cord!

Hello and Happy Easter from New York to you, Tulsa.
It is so good to see your photos of the beautiful, fragile, temporary cherry blossoms. Our New York cherry trees have not yet gotten enough warmth to bloom, but the little white pear tree flowers are on every block in my neighborhood.
I know that you will do just fine with the art of the power point. I have not ever had to master it yet myself, but just deep inside know that it cannot be too difficult.
Hoping that you will find time for a post from Tokyo.
Meanwhile, best wishes. xo
Hello! I love the new look of your blog, the lamps are stunning.
Hope you're having a nice Easter holiday, it looks like the weather is perfect. Have a great time in Tokyo!
Wow, what a lovely, bright, new look! I think the little white flowers might be Crocus. Happy Spring!
Lori...thank you I hope you enjoy spring too! still looking for my camera cord lol
Frances, i'm not so sure about Power Point being easy...there's so much to remember....argh! I still have quite a bit to do before I complete the online course...I'll let you know how it goes ;-)
Polly, thank you! Hope you had a nice Easter too!
Alaine, thank you for the flower name! I'll try to find out the Japanese name for Crocus and ask around a bit!
