Thinking of Spring

The last couple of weeks we anticipated for the exotic plumeria blossom to open, the first one since November. Days definitely have gotten longer, the sun noticeably stronger. Despite the snow covered garden outside our window, the blossom finally opened this weekend. It smells good, too.
And Sunday we had some friends over for a Spring party, Japanese style. Kayo played the koto very informally before we dug into the feast. The weather even cooperated for the occasion with sunshine and the temperatures close to 40. Happy Spring!
