Monday Moment: Cherry Blossoms Already?

It has been predicted this year that Japan will have an early spring for the cherry blossoms, or sakura, to bloom. They are predicted to bloom at the end of March around the 22nd this year. However, all of the decorations and sakura scented items have rolled out a lot earlier then I expected. Skipping valentines day entirely in some stores Sakura has become the hot thing.

From greeting cards to home scented diffusers and beauty products, it won’t be long before the sakura flavored food will come out. I’m actually really excited about sakura season but I think it is a bit early what do you think?
