It’s early May, or so they say,
The wind and rain’s like autumn.
The cherry tree sets blossoms free
That cover all the bottom.
The grass was green, but as you’ve seen
It looks like snow has fallen
The petals pink are fine, I think,
They tell me spring is calling.

Today is such a miserable cold and windy day that it feels like those blossoms should be snow.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have snow in pale pink at least sometimes? I like this kind because it’s not cold.

I’m smiling as I type, Anneli. Your poem was truly fun and spirited, and goes well with P. Gerrie’s wonderful photo. I love it when spring blossoms or flower petals decorate the ground. Great post!

It was a miserable day here today, just like winter, but these blossoms remind us that warmer days are coming.

Sure looks like spring, sounds chilly though. Things are slower to start here but there are more flowers and buds every day.

Many years ago ( 70´s ) I was lucky enough to spend a few days during the short cherry blossom season in Hamburg, where I enjoyed the Japanese “Hanami” celebration of the many Japanese Immigrants of Hamburg at the time.
A few years later I enjoyed the same in Kobe, Japan.
Now, at my new home in Germany, there is a huge cherry tree just outside my entrance door, which last spring produced an enormous amount of cherries, and just last week, an abundance of beautiful cherry blossoms 🙂
Isn´t it a shame that most folks these days pass these marvels of nature without the knowledge and/or appreciation 😦
Life is Good AND beautiful 🙂
(I was going to upload a pic, but with this template that dis not allowed) 😦
Cheers !

No shoveling either. The sun shrivels the blossoms, or the rain smooshes them, and the wind blows them away. If only we could get rid of snow that easily.
