The plum trees in our backyard were in full bloom for a brief time – its spring. Our new house makes you much more aware of the seasons. Spring brings back the leaves to the plums and crape myrtles trees in the front and backyard – they were bare through the winter.
Spring turns our engawa (veranda) green from the pine tree pollen for a few weeks.
Spring brings the herons which periodically come to visit the koi in the pond for a few months – I have to put into place the motion sensor sprinkler.

やっとこさ、おまえさんにも、季節を愛でるこころが。。。涙。
