I was planning on a ride to see the cherry blossoms at sunrise this morning. My alarm went off and I was enthosed to go – at least as enthused as a half-awake person can be right after the switch to DST.

But the view outside the bedroom window was decidedly “sodium-grey,” indicating overcast skies.

And then I walked to the living room window and heard the patter of raindrops.

So no blossoms this morning.

Tomorrow or Wednesday look more like it. And I’ll be more accustomed to the time change by then, which might be a bonus.
