"Every spring, people around here gather under those trees for festival." "Sakura festival?" "Yap, will come back here on spring so we can witness that and beside I think this house needs a renovation." "Will you really buy this?" she asked again. "Do you like this place?" "Yes."

The gold flowers glowed through the snow, their light steady and sure. The witnesses gathered around the stone bench for lessons, their faces lit by the blooms.

The cherry blossoms on our block opened on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday the sidewalk between Vance's and Voss & Grain was carpeted in pink petals that stuck to everyone's shoes. Lulu collected them in fistfuls and deposited them in Killian's shop, which he pretended to mind and didn't.

Crystal parked the car in front of the Han river park and took her phone from her purse before getting down from the car. It's still dark, and so cold. She wrapped her scarf around her and rolled her eyes around. The pathway was dense with rows of cherry blossom trees. The late winter breeze made her legs numb though it was quite refreshing with the touch of the pleasant smell of the trees and flowers. The place was so peaceful at this hour. Obviously, who will come here now?

Because Gerald is insensitive, but now he's I'm in foreign, no matter what we do. I just realized I shouldn't be trite. And more to explore how the beauty of God's creation. Snow is everywhere.

Although I don't know what a cherry tree looks like, I could be sure that it was a cherry tree when I saw a brown wood. I wish to see the cherry blossoms in spring. ________________________________ So fast, we have arrived. The places we visited were more clinics, not big hospitals. Whatever!

Finally, the harsh winter had passed, and spring had just started. I woke up this morning to the sweet chirping of birds outside my window. The snow was now replaced by soft lush grasses. One thing about me? I love flowers. Their fragrance always drew me to them, and I could relate to their fragile nature.

The snow began to melt in early March, leaving behind rivulets of clear water that danced down the hillside. The Hearth’s grounds slowly shed their white cover to reveal damp earth, shoots of green, and the first promise of wildflowers. Emma walked the property one morning with Lila toddling at her side, both bundled in scarves. The thaw was like a second breath. Trees once bowed in silence began to stretch. Birds returned, their songs tentative but growing stronger. “Can I pick flowers soon?” Lila asked, her mittened hand slipping into Emma’s.

As if he was trying to hold on to something slipping through his fingers. Later, he made lunch, and after we ate, he suggested something simple, “Let’s go to the garden,” he said. “You can read to me. One of your stories.” I agreed with a nod, and we walked to the garden, where a great sakura tree stood in full bloom. Its pink blossoms fluttered gently in the breeze like snow caught in sunlight. I sat beneath its shade, surrounded by vibrant blooms, jasmine, bellflowers, poppies, and opened the book.
