Asebi
You might say ‘Pieris’ in English.
Asebi means drunkard horse in Japanese Kanji.
When I was young, my mother said, “if horses eat this tree’s leaves, horses will get drunk. “
Animals don’t try to eat this tree’s leaves.

By the way, now there are a lot of cherry trees bloom in Japan.
But every year I don’t have any time to see them. When I try to see cherry trees bloom, it is too late.

Some flowers.

Spring.

Good good. Tell me, what's the weather like? The weather is the most important thing to an Englishman.

The second most important thing is tea.

How do you celebrate the Cherry Blossoming if you don't have time? I've heard it was a very big festival in Japan - am I wrong?

SzélsőFa,
Yes, a lot of Japanese have partys above cherry blossoms. They drink and eat something. Of course I did it, I was a single. But now I'm busy, just look.

I have bad pollen allergies too. Pollen counts are very high here this time of year.

We don't have any cherr blossoms here in my town. There are a lot of them in Washington D.C. though.

Hi Lucy,
Asebi is now one of my new favourite words, it certainly put a smile on my face.

By the way, I have started blogging again, but only about one thing, I hope it doesn't make you too sad if you read my blog now.
