Cherry blossoms have been coming back to Tokyo. It's still been at half bloom, but will have been almost ended at the next weekend. They have very short lives, although different types of cherry blossoms delight out eyes over several weeks in every Spring.

We enjoyed working across the cemetery near the house. It's famous for the cherry blossoms. The good news for us is that the cemetery officially bans any drinking party around there. Beside some minute banquets held by a handful of neighbors, there used to be less cherry-viewing party than in the Ueno park, which is located near the cemetery and is also one of the most familiar place for such a cherry-viewing. But for the past few years, unruly guys from a long distance seemed to come and held a lot of filthy parties in the cemetery. I welcome the ban because that brings the cemetery a peaceful atmosphere.
