First Hanami of 2009 - for Patsy

A walk in a park while out with Alice. Blue skies, warm sun, snow covered mountain tops in the distance, and slightly damp grass. Perfect for walking. I could stretch out for hours while Alice enjoys the blossoms.
I heard from Pele today about his loss of Patsy. She's off on her next life. I am sure she will be a human, perhaps a monk in a warm and peaceful clime? Yes, she deserves that. Farewell Patsy, my big and gentle friend. May you be showered with cherry blossoms every year until you find your own Nirvana.
