hootin--anni has a new meme.
IT'S ALL ABOUT MY NEW MEME THAT I HOPE SOME WILL FEEL LIKE JOINING IN ON THE CHALLENGE AND THE FUN [at least I hope the weekly challenge will be fun!]. It's loosely based on song lyrics [recorded songs since the beginning of time to today] and associating them with photos of yours...as I've done in the past...If you click on the link above, it'll take you to the Meme's Homepage for rules and buttons. There will be a Mr. Linky Widget for each individual week also. Do consider joining me sometime. Hope to see it flourish in time.

When I was in Methodist School in Sibu, Sarawak, I was taught by teachers who came from UK and USA, and also teachers who had gone to these places. At some stage, I was taught to sing this song, Sakura in Japanese. As I am no good in languages, I could sing only Sakura, Sakura. Perhaps you can sing it in English.
As I drove home today, I saw some cherry trees in full bloom. Theye are blooming early, ( We are having winter in New Zealand.) I tell myself that I must go to one Tree hill and see if the Sakura walk there are blooming yet. I remember this meme, and here are last year's flowers.
Do hit on the You Tube. The first is purely music, and the second sung by lovely voices as Sakura Japanese folk song

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
On Meadow-hills and mountains
As far as you can see.
Is it a mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the morning sun.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Flowers in full bloom.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Across the Spring sky,
As far as you can see.
Is it a mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the air.
Come now, come,
Let’s look, at last!
