New School Sakura

Last week was our first week in the new school. It is pristinely white and has lots of windows. It will be sad to see the old school go but this new building is very inspiring, kind of like a blank canvass full of possibilities. The administration couldn't have timed the move any better because the sakura were in bloom at the exact time of the move. I was jogging home from baseball practise later on in the week and I stumbled upon a pink river. The sakura blossoms down stream had started to fall into the river and by the time they reached our neighborhood they had become so concentrated that the river was pink! Now there are pink petals in all the gutters on the way to school. Very surreal.
