Hanami

How leisurely the cherry
blossoms bloom this year, unhurried,
by their doom

    sigh ... it's snowing here and we're all going stir crazy waiting for spring.

    I see the quote at the top was from 200 years ago. Lovely poem.

    What a lovely and uplifting display of cherry blossoms. In this year's NW Flower and Garden show, the Seattle Arboretum's display garden celebrated Hanami, which was my introduction to this Japanese tradition.
