Beautiful weather today

Beautiful weather today. And there are still some cherry blossoms on the trees as the green leaves start to come out.

It was a bit windy, but very nice along the river.

And good news! My electric bill this month was one half of what it was last month. Spring is truly here.

Tokyo sandstorm

It was extremely strange weather in Tokyo yesterday with this freak sandstorm, apparently blown over from China. These photos show the sky in my neighborhood on what was a bright, sunny day until the sand blew over. In addition to huge winds, I don’t think it was particularly safe. Most people wore masks but it still irritated eyes.

I hope it clears up today.
