Sayling Away

Spring on the Rampage

20140416_143858(3)_2I’ve only been able to swim in our pool off and on for the last two weeks (the air temp has varied from the low 50s to 80+), but spring has inexorably come to Chapel Hill. I wanted to share this picture of our Japanese weeping cherry tree, which takes my breath away each year, without fail.

The blossoms last maybe a week, depending on the temperature, and then comes the hard work of fishing the petals out of the pool. But it’s definitely worth it!

Beautiful yard!

Beautiful tree but I can see the future work. Looking at your garden it reminded me so much of a garden I had in Sydney and yet you are across the other side of the world in a different hemisphere. Cheers Irene

Glad you liked my tree. I wait for it blossoming each year – already picking up petals.
