We enjoyed our annual Hanami or “flower viewing” picnic recently. This year we went to Hodogaya Park, up the hill from where we live. The weather was perfect for the event. Here are some photos:

A Spring breeze
Blowing laughter
Flowers, too
Matsuo Basho, Spring, 1668
さまざまの
事おもひ出す
櫻かな
Samazama no
koto omoidasu
sakura kana
How many, many things
They call to mind
These cherry-blossoms!
Matsuo Basho/translated by R. H. Blyth
It’s that time of year again. If you are an American living abroad, we still have to file for taxes. Since filling out all the forms can be daunting, it is a good idea to get some help sometimes. The best way I know to get everything done without extra stress and to guarantee you will get any refunds from stimulus or children tax credit is to hire Taxes for Expats to do your taxes. Simple and Easy!
