315 Bloom along the bough

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough.
A. E. Housman (1859-1936)

It’s beautiful walking around the condo complex. The mature flowering trees (some probably 25 years old) are so graceful. Their petals are building snowdrifts where I walk. After 20 minutes, unpleasant work called inside the house. A painter is coming tomorrow to give us an estimate, and it is time to do something about the electric yellow guest room with the black carpeting, and mountains of drapes. We took down the drapery material fastened to the wall and measured it: any ideas for 10’ x 17’ of lined black and forest green check fabric, completely lined? E-mail me.
