Cherry blossoms


Tuesday, the cherry trees were tight little buds with great promise. Yesterday they burst out in full bloom. A brilliant, instantaneous change that has just ignited our backyard. These early May days are sunny but still fairly cool for this time of year. I don't think the plants in the yard mind too much, though. Everything seems to have perked up so much in the last few weeks. I just want to spend my time outdoors... and after being cooped up for so long, being outside seems like dessert after the heavy winter meal we had dished up for us.
