spring around the corner

it's 20C in okinawa which is about 68F. so warm. already feels like spring. in fact, january is the cherry blossom season here. in mainland japan, it's mostly from the end of march to the end of april. so here on this southern island, flowers will soon be blooming and silver grass will be dancing in green. yet, at the same time, i miss the gray-ish sceneries of winter with a cup of hot apple cider w/ a cinammon stick! have a cozy one!
