The First Day of Spring

Yesterday was the first day of spring and a day off in Japan. Since I am quite fashion conscious, I was looking to see what people would be wearing today on the train.

Sure enough, the fashionable young men had changed to pastel shirts with matching ties. And women were wearing light colored coats and the boots, alas, are starting to disappear.

Yesterday it was warm but by this morning it had turned cold and rainy. But I saw the first cherry buds breaking open in the Tokyo area this morning on my way to train. One tree was even pretty much blooming. The seasons are changing…
