Cherry Blossoms

Growing up my grandparents had cherry trees.  I used to love to climb them in the spring and drink in the smell of those beautiful pink blooms.  (Of course I love them, they are pink!)  One of the things on my Bucket List is to visit  the Cherry Blossom Festival. Or, if we are being adventurous, I’d like to be in Japan and see them in full bloom there.  But since neither of those adventures are on the list for THIS spring , I’ll content my self with these.  (And maybe go to my local tulip festival.)  Now, if only someone could invent a scratch and sniff computer app…..

Do you want to know how hard it was to narrow this post down to 13 photos?  (That’s such a lucky number, don’t you think?) One of my really bad habits is to open a million tabs on my browser of things I love and just look at them.  I bookmark some of them, sometimes, but other times I just keep them open and look at them.  It drives Scott crazy.   The other day I had three different  windows open and each one had more than 20 tabs.  But they were totally organized.  One was all Japanese tape, one was all the color lavendar, one was all old wooden spools and antique/vintage sewing supplies and thread on ebay and etsy and flickr and weheartit.  He was doing some computery thing that required restarting the computer, and the dear sweet man bookmarked every single one of those tabs so I wouldn’t lose any of them.  It was at least 60.  Atleast.  And he did it in three different folders, one for each of my windows so they would still be all organized.  I love him.  Happy Monday!
