I think this means the others are coming. On a farm not too far from Haeundae Beach, I saw a lone cherry blossum tree in full bloom.

In spring, when my Korean mother and I go for a mountain hike, for her it is a shopping excursion. She always has a basket to take with her because she’ll pick certain leaves and vegetables and then she’ll make a spring greens bibimbap. The vegetables that she picks are fresh shoots and leaves for if they are old, they taste bitter.
