Cherry Blossom Report and Sunday Stitch Group
I've seen cherry trees in bloom in other locations, but not yet where I live. Yesterday I checked out two areas near my apartment where there are many cherry trees. First - the Ogawa River - buds but no blooms.
This is yesterday's view of Mt. Fuji from the park.
Sunday, the stitch group met. First we had show and tell.
Japanese Hangings/Table Runners
Colorful drawstring bags - both front and back
Our new project is Candlewicking. We needed to do some Colonial Knot practice first. They had done French Knots/Japanese Knots before, but the Colonial (figure 8) Knot was new.
Tea Time was very Spring and Hanami themed.

Jogasaki Hike and Hashidate Suspension Bridge
After visiting Tokaikan and Kinoshita Mokutaro Museum on Saturday, my friend and I went to my friend's sister's home, where we were joined by their sister-in-law and nephew. We had a wonderful dinner and got a good night's sleep.
In the morning, we ate breakfast and headed out for a new adventure - a hike along the coast, including the suspension bridge.
It was a beautiful day and we had gorgeous views.
We went off trail and headed down to the sea.
We scrambled around on the rocks and saw some fishermen.
We went back to the trail and on to the suspension bridge.
From the bridge, we had views of some rock climbers below and the sea.
Onward and upward.
When we came out of the woods, we continued on to the port.
After the port, we went to a wonderful place for lunch. More about that soon!
