Cherry Blossoms



It is now "Spring" in Japan

The air is beginning to warm and the flowers bloom.

We will be having a Cherry Blossom Viewing party tomorrow.

The Japanese love nature. They will travel long distances to view flowers and the beauty of nature. I have been working with some English studying students that will even travel to Kyoto area to view the flowers.

I will be traveling to the Marugame Castle to view the cherry blossoms this year. It was supposed to rain tomorrow, however it looks like the rain will wait until the next day. :) Andrew is excited as he says that he has "some pull" with the weather. Being a photographer, he has to rely on the goodness of the weather for weddings etc. He claims that it has never rained on any days that he shoots a wedding. He thinks he can use his power to ward off the rain for tomorrow.

We have invited all of the English School students.

I did go with Andrew to help him take some photos of a few of the students that graduated from preschool/kindergarten and are moving to the BIG elementary school. I will post some of those pictures as well. They were really cute.

I am excited to have Andrea and the boys come. I hope that the house will sell sooner than later. It would be GREAT to have them come over sooner.
