投稿の詳細: 花が…　Flower petals in the air...

色々と用事で市内を
走った。やはり目に付くのは
桜の花だ。先週末臥竜公園が満開
となった。今日は須坂温泉の
北側の桜が満開どころか散り始めて
いた。日滝小学校の桜が満開かと思えば
東中学の桜も満開。菅平へ上る道
の仁礼あたりの桜並木も２分から
３分咲きだ。

須坂温泉はいつも２０日くらいに
満開になっていたのに。で、その
桜が終わって仁礼辺りの桜が咲いて、
という順番だったのに。今回は
その時間差があまりにも小さく
また時期が早い。

毎日23～4度という気温じゃあね。

In this rural town, while driving
around, I can find so many cherry
blossoms in bloom. Sakura blossoms
were in full bloom at Garyu Koen park
during last week and today Sakura
blossoms at Suzaka Onsen Hot Spa
were in full bloom and even flower
petals were blown in the wind already.

Sakura at Hitaki Elementary School
is in full bloom while those at Azua Junior
High School are the same. The Sakura
trees along the road to Sugadaira Kogen
at around Nirei area have started blooming.

Sakura at Suzaka Onsen would be enjoyed on around
April 20 in normal year. After there Sakura
in Nirei area would start in full bloom.
It was the usual sequence but this year the situation
is so different. The time lag is so short and the
timing is so quick.

It may be because of the
higher temperature of around 23-24 C dgrees every
day here.
