2025 Japan: Sublime And Amusing

As a bibliophile, this is either a reflection of my addiction of buying books or the greatest market ploy ever.

  1. We had a quite spectacular spring this year in terms of fruit (and other) tree blooms. I have dozens of pictures of our trees blooming. Of note, we had no late frost killing them early so I'm optimistic of a fruit harvest later on.

    Now there's a name combination I haven't seen before in a business TB, quite the five letter mix. Trees are really budding here and the weeds......oh my!

    1. Nylon12, it is one of those that you look - and look again. I do not think that to many non-native English speakers it would seem at all unusual.

      We are having some congestion here that makes me wonder if it is not pollen based - which is sad; this year had been pretty good to date.

    1. Sandi, it struck me as funny as I looked at it longer.
