 It
seems nobody wanted to wait a few weeks for the Independence Day
party. Best thing to do, simply throw another party.

 Yeah,
temperatures are finally warming up. Time to begin the
Summer parties. This was the equivalent of a Memorial Day,
unofficial beginning of Summer party.

 This
storm came pretty close to the house but produced little
rain and not much. Basically a tropical storm at the closest
approach. |
 Went
to the hundred yen store and bought some fake cherry
blossoms for this hanami, aka flower viewing, party. It got
a few laughs from friends.

 Made
the annual trip up Yoshino Mountain to see the cherry
blossoms in bloom, known in Japanese as hanami. The trees
traverse the entire mountain and due to the differences in
elevation, you can see the cherry blossoms in various stages
of bloom.
