The okame cherry tree is the earliest blooming cherry tree that I know of around here. These rosy pink flowers seem to last 2-3 weeks and sure helps you to get over the winter blues. I first noticed this tree in bloom early last week.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:2-4
