2013.3.5

In the morning I saw the beautiful plum tree and cherry trees full in bloom.  Even if we have cold days every day, spring is coming for sure.
Today is keichitsu (啓蟄), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季) the 24 solar terms.  The last one was usui (雨水) on February 18 and the next one will be shumbun (春分) on March 20.  Keichitsu is the day on which an insect's hibernation ends.  So on calendar too the spring is coming.
