2011 March-April: When Cherry Blossoms . . .

Last week of March, 2011, Bin came up from Atlanta after completing his rotation. He spent few days in DC doing chores for the old lady and showing places where he had spent time for a semester in 2004 before heading to Europe to enjoy a big break.

This time of the year, nothing would be more enticing than viewing the precarious white and pale pink cherry blossom. It's a reminiscent time of recent tragedy in Japan and the eternal gift from her gentle people. The day after we went, it snowed. It must have quite a picturesque display--snow on the blossom!

A week later (early April) Hef arrived from his sea voyage, just in time to catch a glimpse of the blossom around the Capital and our little humble cottage. Of course, honeydew list was handed to him.
