citrus, plum, and oil tanks

on saturday, only a week after snow, the sun came out and it was in the 60's.  it was so nice to strip off the layers, and I even went sock-less! wow!  I've been dreaming of this for a few weeks now.  we drove some country roads near kiire where we used to live and I soaked up as much of the sun as I could.  the first signs of spring are showing up, with うめ (plum) trees just starting to bloom, and ポンカン (ponkan) trees full of fruit; we are so happy the warm is near.

the oil tanks are a kiire landmark you might remember.  and the oil drums were across from the farm we were strolling at; found next to an abandoned van... and refrigerator.  oh japan! and your mysterious dumping areas : (
