I know I just did a sakura photo dump two weeks ago, but these are CURRENT photos of peach and/or plum blossoms that I took two days ago. Sunday was the nicest day of 2022 so far, warm and sunny, so I stayed out allllll dayyyyy. I had been planning to go sing karaoke, but I couldn’t waste such nice weather, and then by the time the sun went down, I was too tired to do anything but go home.














And then a few more non-flower pics:



That’s a lantern that seems to be sponsored by a tobacco company, a picture of me in a New Realm Brewing Company cap (Kazu said I look like my mother), and the great Buddha of Takaoka.
Other than that, this weekend was spent eating delicious food, as usual (tempura, fried chicken, grilled scallops, crab salad, and more sushi), writing spring greeting cards, studying Japanese, watching Netflix, and playing more Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
It was the last night of one of our favorite barista/bartenders (she’s moving to a different prefecture soon), so we visited her cafe/bar one last time on Saturday night.
I’m looking forward to another couple of walks, since the cherry blossoms should start to bloom either next week or the weekend after that!
