I'm commenting from Hong Kong where the spring flowers are a gorgeous riot of colour right now. The osmanthus is filling the air with a heady honeyed scent, the bauhinia are bright pink, and the gorgeous, huge, orange-red waxy flowers of the cotton trees are blooming and then dropping to the pavement with a loud slap.
Woah! This is awesome. It has been so long since I experienced Hong Kong, but I feel like I'm there, smelling the air and hearing the loud slaps. Thank you :-)
We could do more to curate our life to include more positives. It just takes some effort to tune out the negative noise, and search out the positives. They are out there.
Thank you for taking the time to write that 😊! I just saw your fabulous Sakura photos and they melted my heart. We still have a few days to go until full bloom here 🌸
The pears and tulips are in bloom...also some Sakura (are all Cherry Sakura?? hmmmn). I camp out by the tulips and read by them. Also, that radio guy has a nice voice.

Great story!
Wisteria, azaleas, crossvine, dogwoods, bluets, trillium, and umpteen unknown little wildflowers popping out in Alabama. Spring is sprung….
Lovely report, Ned! Definitely sounds like Spring is in full force in Alabama!
This was such a lovely story and piece of writing. Thank you. And Sakura is currently blooming in Tokyo ☺️

I find that beautiful - and a good reminder to admire the flowers in my neighborhood too :) thanks for sharing!
Thank you too, Marisa!
