Spring break has started in Japan and I think the kids have two weeks of vacation. The new school year will begin the first week of April and everyone is hoping that the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom for the entrance and start of school ceremonies.
My garden is still brown and grey (though I do have a lonely cluster of daffodils blooming in a corner) but the plum trees are starting to show their blossoms. Many white plum trees that look they are covered with pop-corn. Some pink plum trees that are the most beautiful, and I think the darker pink color of the peach trees will begin blooming pretty soon. Japanese revere the delicate cherry blossoms but the bolder plum trees always seem more striking to me.
