Hughes Place Pops! and Temps Tumble

Hanami Hysteria Hits Wooster Square


Hughes Place is coming into a Glorious Chorus of Pink and White Mania! However, from Thursday afternoon through Friday night they are predicting winds up to 35 mph and rain. Not a good combination for our Funny, Fancy, Fruitful Flowers. And you can cross your fingers with all other Wooster Squarians and hope Mother Nature is kind to our World Famous Wooster Square Cherry Blossoms!

This morning proved to be a better time of the day. When I woke up and got the paper off of the Blossom Blog Stoop, I did look up and say Wow! PoP! The sun was out and warming the Square for a day a Busy Blossoming. Luckily I grabbed my camera on the way to New Haven Fitness as this afternoon is gusty and AGAIN, Chilly. The Blossoms also seemed to tuck themselves back in a bit. Hang on Guys!!!

Now everyone seems to notice that the Blossoms are so slow to Pop! that the leaves are just passing them by. In some cases yes, some no. Some of the Juvenile Trees were to first to Pop! and seem to be just starting to get their big green leaves. Other Sakura Trees' Green leaves look as though they left their Pink and White Blossom Dates at the Dance getting tired of waiting. Every year these Cheeky Cherry Chums seem to surprise us.

Bright and Balmy (at least bright)

Even without lots of wind and rain our Blossoms are fragile little flowers...

Oh the Agony...

So you have seen where we have come from, let's take a look around the Park before the rain hits.
