[Quiet Man Cometh]

Didn't know sakura was the blossom though I knew about the tree. There are a number of them lining streets in my city, though there is a large Asian population here. My university has a Japanese garden with a tea house (thought I've never been in it. I keep missing the dates) and is part of the cherry blossom festival in May (and I'm out of town! Dammit!). My brother bought his house from a chinese couple, I think, and there's an ornamental cherry in the backyard. From the living room window it looks like snow sometimes when the petals fall.
