That sums up the weather lately. It is kinda sorta maybe Spring. After months of being held captive in the house, we finally got to go somewhere! Yay! We went to the Sakura Festival in Philly. Rain clouds threatened the day, which is why in the pictures there is no natural warmth. I say natural because looking at the performers will brighten any gloomy day. We were very privileged to see the Tamagawa Takio Drummers again. We saw them for the first time the weekned before at Swarthmore College in Philly. They were giving a free concert. When we left, we felt like we just got the best deal of the century! These people are upbeat and smiled throughout the entire 2 hour performance. My face hurt so much from smiling, lol. Anyway, if they are ever in your area I urge you to see them...trust me no matter what the ticket price, they are well worth every penny. They are straight from Japan and speak no English except "thank you". I got to use my very limited Japanese. They were surprised and delighted. I am sure by now they are homesick and I thought it was the very least I could do to repay them for the wonderful memories that I will cherish forever.
