Something to chew on:
“Chinese Cherry Blossom
For the Chinese the cherry blossom is a very significant symbol of power. Typically it represent a feminine beauty and sexuality and often holds an idea of power or feminine dominance. Within the language of herbs and herbal lore of the Chinese the cherry blossom is often the symbol of love.
Japanese Cherry Blossom
For the Japanese the cherry blossom holds very different meaning. The cherry blossom is a very delicate flower that blooms for a very short time. For the Japanese this represents the transience of life. This concept ties in very deeply with the fundamental teachings of Buddhism that state all life is suffering and transitory. The Japanese have long held strong to the Buddhist belief of the transitory nature of life and it is very noble to not get too attached to a particular outcome or not become emotional because it will all pass in time.”
I think I want a jellyfish, tokidoki, cherry blossom or something.

“I’m gonna add some green,” He says.

Speaking of green, this weekend we took the kids to see the Incredible Hulk. And for most of Sunday the men played in the giant inflatable pool in the backyard, rocked the wii while I battled the Excel homework.
