Is there a more lovelier sight than a tree filled to the brim with Cherry blossom?
So many childhood memories of our local area and school field are filled with memories of the Cherry blossom. Every Spring anew feels like a new miracle with the beauty of the flowers!
It was totally serendipitous that I was wearing a very pink outfit yesterday. I don't wear pink very often so this is doubly funny!
My new home is in an Avenue which is an avenue in the true sense of the word which is full of cherry trees. If you stand at the end of my road and look down it, it is a triumph to see.
My niece came over with my Mum yesterday to help with some gardening activities- mostly involving edging the bed and wrestling with a rose bush root. She enjoyed the wide grass banks and turned cartwheels along them.
From Bluebells to pink Cherryblossoms,
one of my favourite songs I taught at school was the traditional Japanese folk song, Sakura- Cherry blossoms.
Sakura, Sakura, ya-yo-i no so-ra wa.
Mi-wa ta-su ka-gi-ri
Ka-su-mi ka ku-mo-ka
Ni-o-i-zo i-zu ru;
I-za-ya i-zay Mi ni yu-kan
Sakura, Sakura,
Blossoms waving everywhere
Clouds of glory fill the sky.
Mists of beauty in the air,
lovely colours floating by.
Sakura, Sakura
let all come singing
Sakura, Sakura
Blossoms waving in the breeze
Yoshina, the cheery land,
Tatsuta, the maple trees,
Karasaki, pine tree gran,
Let all come singing
(Lyrics from Make music fun.net)
I don't own much pink, but I'm not adverse to it, I'm just more of a blue girl!

Even my new water bottle is pink! It's made out of glass as I am going to try to avoid plastic where possible!
I hope you enjoy some beautiful blossom moments this week
