It's starting to look like spring
It was a nice spring-like weather over the weekend. I went for a veggie run, and on my way I saw that the Kawazuzakura (a type of early-blooming cherry blossoms) was blooming in my neck of the woods, so I decided to visit the lane where a bunch of Kawazuzakura trees are planted. When the blossoms are in bloom, passengers on the train can enjoy a lovely view.
The blossoms bloomed 2 weeks earlier than last year, but last year, they bloomed later than usual. I usually go at the ass-crack of dawn to go take pics since there won't be any guards yelling at people to stay on the sidewalks. The city covered up the fences to keep people from standing in the street to take pics of the train running through the blossoms, but there are gaps that people can take advantage of and traffic is scarce at that hour.
This time, I went after my veggie run and man, were there a lot of people out. Cars were lined up waiting to get into the parking lot. I found a spot to park my scooter and there were squirrels arguing nearby. There were plenty of Japanese white-eyes and starlings flitting around enjoying the nectar.
It was getting close to noon by the time I finished taking pics of the cherry blossoms and shopping, so I went for some ice cream. It's been a while since I went to the shop at the dairy farm. Today's flavor of the day was strawberry. They use fresh fruit when making their ice cream. It was yummy!
Warm weather, fresh veggies, tons of pics of pretty blossoms, and ice cream. It was a good day
