The wind is rising.

"Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed." This saying sounds like a joke, but it has something true, doesn't it?

As I had expected too much for my broken ankle, the doctor's words yesterday gave me a shock. It took me some time to get over the shock. Anyway, I'm all right today. I have been to the beauty salon and I am feeling positively refreshed.

Yesterday was such a hot day for this season that all the cherry trees around here started to blossom in the morning and they were at their best in late afternoon. Wow ! How beautiful ! Amazing !

The wind is rising. The leaves of the trees are shaking in the wind. I'm afraid the wind will scatter those cherry blossoms, though I like the cherry blossoms scattering and drifting in the wind.

Wherever they are--on the trees (in full bloom), in the air (drifting in the soft breeze) , or on the ground (just like a pink carpet)-- the cherry blossoms are so lovely and so fantastic.



This is the picture I took last spring. I'm sorry I can't go out for taking pictures this spring.
