What I Did With My Afternoon, 10 April 2011 - Bob Schroeck - 04-11-2011
Peg and I went to a cherry blossom festival held at Branch Brook Park, in Newark, NJ today. The real festival stuff will be happening next weekend, but they're predicting rain for that date this far out. So just in case, Peg and I decided to go look at the blossoms today, even though most of the trees are still barely budding, and if the weather is good next weekend after all, we'll go back for the organized festivities. The link there goes to my Flickr account and the pics I took. Fortunately, the park has a wide variety of cherry species and reportedly has a 4-week blooming season, as opposed to the 2-week ones you get where the cherry population is more homogeneous.
Now I have to learn the "sakura" song for next weekend.

Sounds like more fun than doing taxes. On the other hand I'm pleased to have had those come out much better than I had budgeted for.
And Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan might not be the traditional sakura viewing song, but it's a nice bouncy song.

Thanks, BA, but that wasn't quite what I had in mind.

But of course! That's what tongue-in-cheek is for! (^_^)
