The Sun Comes Out

For the first time this week, today was not a cold, rainy and/or windy day. That made it a good day to take a walk and do some grocery shopping.

A list of things I saw while I was out today:

• pink, purple and scarlet azalea blossoms;

• blooming lilacs that made parts of my walk smell wonderful;
• blossoms on my favourite flowering tree (this tree has fabulous pink pompom blossoms that look like something Martha Stewart would make from an enormous stack of tissue paper);
 

 

• the ladies who work at the department store doing their stretching exercises together just before the store opened;
• hotteok (a kind of chewy pancake with a brown sugar and cinnamon filling and something I don't get to eat often enough), and
• a half-pint basket of blueberries that cost 17 000 won (about $17, making it the most spectacular thing I saw on my walk!)
