flowers are fragrant but they fall and scatter

April already.... It is too bad there are no sakuras or umes in this garden. A hanami would have been quite nice right now, during this...slightly busy time. With this warm weather, I am sure they would have bloomed nicely and looked beautiful. It is dissapointing to miss a seasonal event or miss watching the sakura petals fall, but I suppose it cannot be helped.

Perhaps, instead of a hanami, a picnic would do. I could make some hanami dango, and maybe have some sake as well....
