Well, a few years ago I was dragged to this Cherry Blossom Event in Okinawa by Susie and Carrie. I was very resistant b/c nature and this sort of stuff is not my thing really but Susie really pushed it and I did have a fun day. It ended up that the blossoms were past on the blooms, the weather was cold or wet or something and it was pretty busy...Luckily a lot of other American Gals we were friends with also were there so as we climbed the steps to the top of this huge hill it was fun to just run into friends and hang out.
So fast forward, we are in VA and here at our apartment complex is this little walking path and pond and lining part of this are all these cherry blossom trees...they have been in bloom for the last few days and well, I totally get it now...sorry Susie for all the drama I probably put you through back in Oki...they are so pretty and we have enjoyed them everyday as we walk to the pond to feed the ducks/geese. Here are some pictures from yesterday, I feel I owe the Okinawa Gang some pictures to show I have changed a bit and can now appreciate some of what nature has to offer in terms beauty around here!
So to Susie and Carrie, hope you can forgive me and take a look at the pictures and hopefully appreciate the change that has occurred...just took 9 yrs or so for me to get here!
