Awesome #7 - Cherry Blossom Trees

Cherry blossom trees are great because they take me by surprise. The cold, dreary, dark weather of winter seems to extend into spring, but little by little, the days get lighter and the temperature rises. So subtly, though, that I almost don't notice. Then one day I'll be driving or walking down the street and pass a tree that has exploded into white and pink blossoms. It's like cotton candy. It's like nature has woken up and is saying, "ta da!". It's like the signal that even better days are ahead.
It's like, awesome.
