A Sign of Spring

I am actually enjoying our mild winter and look forward to warm udon and soup when I get home from teaching. However, I have to admit, spring is my favorite time of year! And Japan has the most beautiful springtime!!
This week, I had to stop while I was biking, as I saw one of the sure signs of spring in America- the daffodil. I am not sure the Japanese name for this beautiful springtime flower, but when we see the daffodils bloom in America, spring has arrived! With the mild winters here, I know that they are arriving early. However, I also saw on the internet, the first forecasts for the Sakura blooms!! I believe there are a lot of people anxious for the most beautiful time of the year!
