where is spring?/春はどこへ？

Cherry blossoms started to open last week. However, the temprature hasn't gone up very much this week and the pace of the blooming is slowing down. We were hoping that we would be able to see more blossoms before we go to Korea next week, but now it looks like we might just miss the peak this year.

先週から桜が咲き始めました。しかし、今週はあまり気温が上がらず、桜が咲くペースも落ちています。私たちは来週韓国に行くのでその前にもっと桜が見れることを期待していたのですが、今年は満開の時期を逃してしまいそうです。
