The plum trees came into bloom while I was away.*

Did the cherry trees seem to bloom in more distinct waves this year -- pink, then white, then puffball pink? It seemed like it to me -- maybe it's just that Cook Street Village blooms differently than James Bay, where I remember streets of pale and bright mixed, leading to various vague internal ramblings about aesthetic juxtapositions during various vague external ramblings through its streets.

The plum trees* are also pink (or white) but a much more satisfying pink, darker and more lipsticky without ever being in danger of becoming red.

There is a strange message on our voicemail from a hotel in New Brunswick. inlandsea?

*I think they are plum trees. They look like cherry trees, only not. Actually, I have no idea what they are, but for the purposes of making me seem like an observant fan of the natural, let's assume plum trees. Thank you.

There are plum trees -- I was walking by the TV studio one day (years ago) and a strange man gave me some off of the trees growing there. I'm not really plum-oriented, but I ate one and it was quite good. (I guess that makes them not properly ornamental plum, since they actually produced fruit.)

Here's Some bloke talking about the Trees of Victoria. He says crabapples are also very common, so I am still stumped. I'd have to go back and look at the leaves.
