Fresh Flowers

Walked to CVS in Market Place from the house. Getting out of the house, for a moment, I was tempted to turn back to the safety of the house. The wind and gray clouds did not seem welcoming. Shrugging off the thought, I ploughed on. It turned out to be just a wonderful walk. Fresh air, beautiful blooms, Bose headset playing my favorites, what could be better? San Ramon is like the perfect suburb. I passed hardly anyone and the cars give way to you, the pedestrain and drivers wave to you in the neighborhood.

Took my time browsing the shelves at CVS and finally left with my eye lubricating drops and night gels. This lasik thing is giving me pretty dry eyes.

I was wrong about struggling blooms. The cherry blossoms are out in force. The trees that bare white blossoms are heavy with them. You can barely see any branches through the white flowers. Just a heavy cloud of white starting a few feet from the ground where the truck emerge from the earth. And the pink blossoms - just the beauties. Spring is truly on the way. Every year, I continue to be amaze at the beautiful sights. How I wish my far flung families could all be here so we can experience this together. Maybe some day...
