When I moved in to my apartment there was an messy plot of earth outside, used as a parking lot. A couple of years ago that plot was turned into a small park. All the trees in the park are cherries and for a short period each spring it is absolutely beautiful! This year the winter was unusually long and we have just has a short period of warmer weather. For the last days we have had really warm weather with almost summer temperatures. In just two days the trees have gone into full bloom!
