April 1, 2013 - Facebook Post - Beautiful cherry trees blooming along the road.

April 6, 2013 - Facebook Post - DO NOT MOVE TO JAPAN….if you like loquats. Yup been taking a lot of food pictures recently but needed to take this picture in the store. Way too expensive to purchase. Can you believe this? Actually costs 697 yen for 6 freaking loquats. Already put in about 16 loquat trees in the yard for privacy not to mention the fruit is really good. Putting in a few loquat trees adds a tropical look to any garden.

April 8, 2013 - Facebook Post - Hanami Canceled Due To Bronchitis. Yup now paying for going out and working on the house while sick the last few days. Going to actually cancel a trip up to the mountains for hanami tomorrow. At least we went to a different place for hanami a couple days before. Gonna do something different and take it easy next few days. DECK IS FINISHED NOW. Put a few coats of stain on the deck today and finished now. A few more projects to work on and then can relax for the Summer in Japan. Tonight we ate this for dinner as a side dish. Really delicious and a seasonal crop in Japan. Wanna see if any of you know this.

April 22, 2013 - Facebook Post - Amanohashidate Kyoto Japan. We once again went to Amanohashidate Kyoto Japan. This is one of the three most famous view spots in Japan. This was a really nice weekend of eating, drinking, hot springs, karaoke, seaweed, shell, and rock collecting, not to mention relaxing at a luxury hotel. With house projects pretty much finished this was a good beginning for enjoying Japan this year again.
