Searching for Cherry Blossoms
It’s getting to be mid-February now, that time of year when the sun pokes its head up and says “maybe i’ll stay”. Though it is still a long road until full fledged spring, there is definitely hope in the air.
Here in Philadelphia, where it has been quite cold as of late, we find ourselves in the middle of a warm snap. Though it will surely become cold again soon enough, I am reminded of my childhood in Vancouver, a city in which February harks the beginning of Japanese cherry and plum blossom season. Though these trees are rare here, I find myself searching for them, longing for the blossoms.
