Cherry Blossoms

Friends and family in Boston have been sending me photos and tales of endless winter and snow. I hope that this blog will cheer them up, remind them that winter will one day end and that spring and summer will be pretty.

Thursday was gorgeous. Around 11:30 in the morning, everyone had disappeared so there was no social pressure preventing me from going for a walk. I headed up the hill behind the library on campus and followed the ridge for about fifteen minutes and came to the secret (free) back entrance to the botanical gardens.

The gardens were full of picnickers and cherry blossoms. The sky was blue. There was a warm breeze. The birds were singing. The sun was bright.
