Cherry Blossoms...........
The cherry blossom (sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and holds a very prominent position in Japanese culture.
There are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a couple of days in spring. The Japanese celebrate that time of the year with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the blooming trees.
On Japan's southern, subtropical islands of Okinawa, cherry blossoms open as early as January, while on the northern island of Hokkaido, they bloom as late as May. In most major cities in between, including Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, the cherry blossom season typically takes place around the end of March and beginning of April (see table below).
Furthermore, the blooming time differs from year to year depending on the weather. If the weather during the months and weeks preceding the cherry blossom season is mild, blossoms will open early. If it is cold, blossoms will open later. From year to year, the start of the blooming season can vary by as much as two weeks.

love Quotes.........
-Love is the seventh sense, which destroys all the other six senses.
-Love is like a maze; easily lost and hard to find.
-If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.
-LOVE: a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes the eye to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise, and lips to pucker.
-You can't love someone until you love yourself.
-Cinderella walked on broken glass. Sleeping Beauty let a whole lifetime pass. Belle fell in love with a hideous beast. Jasmine married a common thief. Ariel walked on land for love and life. Snow White barely escaped a knife. It was all about blood, sweat, and tears, because love, means facing your biggest fears.
-True love is not seen with the eyes, but felt with the heart
-Every time I see your smile, it makes my heart beat fast, and though it's much too soon to tell, I'm hoping this will last.

A friend in need is a friend indeed....friend quotes
-You May Be One Person To The World But You May Be The World To One Person.
-A friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
-As the rest of the world is walking out the door, your best friend's are the ones walking in.
-friends: ask you why you're crying
best friends: already have a shovel ready to bury
the loser that made you cry
-a friend is someone who knows the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you when you have forgotton the words.
-friends are like four leaf clovers
hard to find but lucky to have
-best friends: it's not a label, it's a promise

My Favorite Description of Love........
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
