Spring

Spring is not here yet, it's only the beginning of Feb but the weather is warm enough, bright days and clear blue sky. I wonder what spring is like in my Hanoi. The thick gray clouds disappear, exposing a beautiful blue sky that i have not seen in hanoi for a long time. What is spring like there? Is it warm enough to just wear a light jacket, jeans and flip flop. What's the color like? I can't think of any spring flowers... cherry blossom? Pink and a hint of green. People don't write poem about spring in hanoi, no song, no novel, not even a short article. Spring ties to lunar new year? Pink and green and orange, and yellow, and the red color of the holiday, it's a full spectrum when the day is cold and cloudy.

There's a type of flower that blossoms in the spring, small and timid, a flower i've never seen before. And there supposed to be green grass, lots of dews, lots of flower. How do i not remember anything about hanoi spring.
