My kwanzan cherry blossom tree finally bloomed. Just four years after planting. Good things come to those who wait. Or threatening it with an axe worked last year. 🤗

Every act and policy we are seeing fits with that lens.

This is incredibly stupid and political theater. Why are they playing in our faces? The ban wasn’t being enforced.
