You can tell it's spring in Japan when you look around and all the cherry blossoms, or sakura, are in bloom. Mike left yesterday morning for a 10 day work trip, so I decided to spend my Saturday morning browsing at an Oriental furniture sale. While I was there, I ran into my friend, Maritza, and her husband, Jeff. They invited me to join them to go see a cherry blossom festival at a nearby temple and I happily accepted their invitation. Here are a few pictures from our afternoon of admiring cherry blossoms.
The little street leading into the temple.
The temple is right by a little lake where people were having picnics and even napping.

I knew it was Cherry Blossom time in DC, but I had no clue Japan even had Cherry Blossoms! See, your blog is giving me a cultural education. The pictures are lovely. How beautiful!
Glad you are able to find a little fun with your hubby away!
