The Cherry Blossoms

 I've long been a fan of cherry blossoms; in fact, I think they might be some of my favorite flowers. When I was little, and my Mom decided to make big changes to the landscaping of my childhood home, she added a weeping snow-flower cherry tree. Each year it bloomed and it was always such a magical little time.

We started visiting the cherry trees last spring. The pandemic was in full force and the brief respite of happiness that walking under those delicate white blossoms brought was much needed. Fast forward to this year, and Frankie is now a year older, walking and exploring the blossoms on his own. It's amazing what a few minutes spent under the shade of flowering tree on a nice day can do.

I think this is a tradition I'd like to keep.
