Martenitsa

As I wrote in Chestita Baba Marta, when you see a stork (or in our case in the Pacific Northwest, a flowering tree), you stop wearing your martenitsa. Today I was at the local grocery store and noticed so many blooming trees that I had to take off my martenitsa bracelet and hang it from the branch of (I think) a flowering plum tree.

Doesn't it look beautiful? Now we know spring is really on the way.
