It's been quite hot these days with temperatures climbing to above 34 degrees Celsius in Metro Manila and hitting 38 degrees in northern Luzon. While beginning our daily walk around the village, we spotted one kasambahay sweeping the yellow orange flowers from the front of their house. The flowers are from the tall Acacia tree along our street. The flowering is indicative of spring, which is now the season in the northern hemisphere. It is my favorite season of mine along with autumn when I was still living in Japan. These days, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and people would be celebrating spring with the traditional hanami, literally "flower watching."

| Sweeping the evidence of spring |
To some, the nice colors of spring are a welcome sight but we should remember that one's perception might be quite different from another person's opinion about the same thing. In the photo above, the flowers from the acacia tree probably meant additional work for the kasambahay as it is just like any kalat that she must sweep from their garage.
