This picture is just inside of the main gate, as you drive on base. There are cherry blossom trees lining both sides of the street. Actually, pretty much anywhere you drive around here, on or off base, there are cherry blossom trees. All week I've been just waiting for them to bloom because according to the cherry blossom forecast, they were supposed to bloom by today. You can just tell by the pink tint of the branches that those little buds are ready to burst. But then the weather had to get all cold and gray and rainy again for the last couple days and so now the trees are refusing to bloom. Booo!!
Chris and I are planning on going to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Hirosaki on Saturday but the rumor is that there may not be any cherry blossoms yet in spite of what the forecast predicted. Hopefully we'll get lucky and the weather forecast will be off too. Right now there is rain predicted and a high of only 57.
