So today was nice and relaxing! I had fun spending time with a lot of different people today. (eep, I missed Michelle and True Mee, though!) I spent most of the day kind-of staring off into space enjoying the breeze. The sakura are not really in bloom yet though. (boo) I'm hoping that later this week (or next weekend) we'll get a better flower turnout. Last year it was SO epic. I hope our eratic weather hasn't damaged them....
Tomorrow is the kimono meetup! YAY!

Ali as Hyakurin from Blade of the Immortal

YEAY GRASS. And oh, hey, I'm wearing my Target Alexander McQueen jacket (probably the only McQ item I will EVER OWN.)




The weather was GORGEOUS. So peaceful.


What a day for a day dream,
What a day for a day dreamin' boy.
And I'm lost in a day dream,
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy.
And even if time ain't really on my side,
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside.
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun,
And fall on my face in somebody's new mowed lawn.

I've been havin' a sweet dream,
I've been dreamin' since I woke up today,
It's starring me in my sweet dream,
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way,
And even if time is passin' me by a lot,
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got.
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load.
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad.

And you can be sure that if you're feelin right
A day dream will last a long time into the night.
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears,
Or you may be dreamin' for a thousand years.

Oh man, these were so beautiful. I am glad that you are feeling better enough to go outside and enjoy it! I never realized how much I would miss sakura after only going through one season of them in Japan. One of my friends out there was saying that she didn't think she was going to make the sakura blooming and I was like, " D< No! You have to go so that I can live vicariously through you! You think sakura survive Colorado weather?"

Ugh, I can't wait to hear about the kimono meet up. That must be so special to be able to wear kimono and enjoy the blossoms all at the same time.

PS- The picture of your toes and the blossoms in the grass is wonderful. I completely love it and want to make it into an icon.

You could grow your own cherry tree!

I'm a Michigan girl transplanted to Colorado and miss my cherry trees. You could have your own hanamai!

Ours are almost gone! (Well, except for a couple of later varieties.) I thought we were colder than you guys. Maybe it's just been that kind of year.

Your sakura season is pretty early, isn't it!! Wow.. I expect another two months before they come out over here in Tokyo. -_-;;

Ahhh, toes in the grass is very nice. Down here we have to be careful because the chance to step on something unpleasant is all too prevalent...
