waiting and listening

Noriko`s Father will be be home soon. he has been in the hospital since Christmas. i am waiting for him to return. and i am also waiting for the cherry blossoms to start blooming. i have heard they may be blooming early around the 22nd or 23rd. soon, i will take some sakura no tsubomi (cherry blossoms bud) photos. i am listening to some cute birds outside my window as well as FM802. now the 11a-3p "Flip Lips" program is on. they just played Mokuren no Namida by Sato Chikuzen and Kobukuro. it was the first time i remember hearing Kobukuro several years ago . . . now i hear them everyday when i am in Minoo : ) the original singers of that song are Stardust Reveiw (i think).
