Loveliest of trees etc.

My calendar has moved to April, and Princess Shikishi is feeling more cheerful about things.

Now the cherry trees
seem to have bloomed;
it's cloudy,
hazy with spring
the way the world appears

And indeed when it is sunny, it is very nice. Unfortunately, the intervals between the sunny intervals are still blooming season. I see cricket was called off due to snow both today and yesterday, and the cherry blossoms' longevity won't have been helped by the periodic hail. I see that a year ago today I was wearing a T-shirt and sunhat.
