It is the first week of May.

We had dreary April with cold, sometimes even snowy and windy days.

We have seen only flowering magnolia, and forsythia, so far through the month of April.

Naturally I want to see some blossoming trees even belatedly.

There are sayings that the red fade and the green abound when spring moves to summer as in poetry, it doesn’t seem to be in that stage yet.

Forsythia and Magnolia were the first to bloom in late April, and then begin to fade slowly.

Creamy white magnolia, Plum flowers, Weeping cherry tree and Pear tree just started to blossom a few days ago.

My tree flowers are of humble origins, never able to reach the gorgeous samples shown by most alumni members here.

So let me say that my flowers are ordinary members barely elevating to the middle class in the hierarchy or echelon, much like their caretaker.
