This is a cherry blossom tree outside my kitchen window 2 years ago (it died this year and I'm heartbroken but I'll replant). I had the family over for a "Cherry Blossom Festival" (sushi dinner) because it's my favorite tree and reminds me of when I lived in Japan and when I would frequent WashingtonDC. The trees in DC, gifted to us from Japan in 1912 (they must be the oldest living specimens in America now), line the Tidal Basin at the base of the Jefferson Memorial.
