March 2

Although the sun spent today hidden behind a veil of cottony clouds, the afternoon afforded perfect walking weather. And we, of course, happily took advantage of the temperate air.

The recent warmth has encouraged the local cherry trees to bloom, and I marveled over the pretty blossoms as we strolled the streets of our neighborhood.

So delicate and sweet and miraculously made, even when scattered along the sidewalk. A reminder that beauty can be found anywhere at all. Even atop squares of concrete in suburbia.
