Summer is here! . . . maybe

After all that snow and coldness we had in Hokkaido, it seems like summer might finally be here.

Here are some flowers that were blooming as I walked to the bank one day.

And here is the scene I drive/bike ride past on my way home from school. That field was mostly brown only a month ago.


Today, Hokkaido wants to pretend it's not summer. It's raining buckets today.
