April Blush !

The other day as we were strolling down a Tokyo lane brushed with beautiful landscape...we noticed this tree...bare...with white delicate blooms trying to cover it up softly...tempting me to touch...feel..
I looked around if i could find one kissing the road..n as i followed,my eyes met up with a lovely little lass..gently hopping down the wavy road collecting these first glimpses of spring.Dressed in a flowery frock with her lovely brown hair swaying in the gentle breeze she gently tucked a blossom behind her ear..and swinging along,ahead of us,she made us feel the spring in her feet and around us...softly creeping in the busy Tokyo roads...
Last night..when back from a Japanese party..my hubby told me that those were actually the Cherry Blossoms we were so eagerly waiting for...and we wondered aren't they suppose to be pink??

This morning as i sit on our lovely red sofa n let the heater warm it all up...my eyes keep going back to the glass doors as the rain drops bang onto it...so very windy it has been today...the balcony wet...the glass shimmering...there's a queer hide n seek of the sun...and i wish for a rainbow!!
But when the emergency exit's hard metal cover starts to give in ,i get worried.
Afraid,i move slowly to the glass doors..to have a better view...also secretly hoping to steal a glimpse of a lovely rainbow...and, My God...to my surprise,there's much more..i see these pink hues of spring swaying in the breeze all over the streets !!
And as these glorious cherry blossoms brush a blush of lovely spring onto everything and every heart around..i smile to myself,
seeing the world celebrate the 'welcome' of our "Anniversary month" with this lovely April Blush !!
