Monday morning I noticed a tree along my typical path from the bus stop to my office. This particular tree was covered in tiny white flowers. It couldn’t be, I thought. I walked up to the tree to examine the delicate flowers in bloom. Sure enough, it appeared to be a Yoshino cherry tree. Everyday this week, I have been treated to a little piece of happiness. Then just this afternoon, I noticed a similar tree growing near the front of my apartment complex. Had I not been running a little behind trying to catch the bus back to work, I would have stopped to admire its beauty. I had never noticed these trees flowering like this in previous years, and I am pleased to see that should I be destined to remain in Gainesville that I will still be able to live out my cherry blossom dream.
Oh awesome! I keep trying to ignore my backyard. I need to start planting and such.. but it has rained and been so cold that the dogs have just turned it into a mud hole. ugh.
So jealous! So ready for spring! Stop and smell the flowers for me!
