Cherry Blossom

Have you noticed the cherry blossom this year? It seems heavier and pinker than usual. I think the hard winter has made it so.
It reminds me of Japan where we enjoyed the annual cherry blossom festival in the local park. The whole town would celebrate the beginning of spring and various stalls were set up. Our little church would sell home made cakes and crafts and give out gospels.
Can you imagine that here? I think not! Still, we can rejoice in the one who made the cherry trees bloom.
