Personally, I think I have too much bloom. Maybe that’s the trouble with me.

I think I have this blogging client working. I like it because it has spell check. I always typed my entries in Text Edit anyway, and pasted into MT, in order to take advantage of spell check. I am a somewhat dyslexic and phonetic typer. Oh, and I am trying to break my habit of typing all letters in lower case. It’s become a bad habit, and it makes it hard to write properly when needed. In fact, as i try to do this, I keep forgetting to capitalize the first letter in the first word of a sentence, and rather seem to just randomly capitalize another word in the sentence. For no reason. [e.g.: I just typed lower case F, and cap N in the previous sentence.] So, hopefully, I’ll be able to type like a grown up, and regain my previous typing speed.
Now that that dull business is out of the way, because you needed to know all of it so badly… did I tell you that all the trees have blossomed? They did, all at once. Last Sunday at approximately 2:37 pm, all the cherry blossom tress burst into bloom. I could swear that I heard a faint POP noise Sunday at approximately 2:37 pm, but that could have been my imagination. And soon, as spring progresses, it will be raining pink and white petals everywhere. At the UofW, in the Liberal Arts Quad, there are cherry blossom trees, planted so that, together, they make a letter W. Not that you’d be able to tell, unless you looked at them from above. When I would leave at the end of winter quarter, the trees would be beginning to bloom. When I came back, for spring quarter, it would be raining petals. I loved walking through the quad, with all flora in the air. Made it seem ethereal and faerie land like. Except for all the college students sprawled on the grass and throwing frisbees and just generally destroying the etherealness of it all.

    I didn’t know they were planted in a W. I was thinking about going over there to take some purty photos to send to my Mum. I too noticed how suddenly the trees blossomed – one day there were what appeared to be a couple of rickety sculptures made from dead, old sticks in my garden and the next day BOOM! blossomy, candyfloss goodness.
    I love the blossoms but rather than making me joyful about rebirth and spring like things they depress me and make me anxious because they are so transient. I get all stressed because they don’t last.

    oh no! you can’t get stressed out over spring! spring is the best! unless it’s fall. and then fall is the best. winter and summer are annoying.
