Every year in March, the town of Macon, Georgia comes alive with Cherry Blossoms!
For the last 33 years, it has held it's International Cherry Blossom Festival.The event last for 10 days.
On Saturday,my hubby and I met 2 of my sisters to attend. They live in this quiet southern town. It's also the town I lived in where I met and married, a little over 51 years ago. We got my hubby to take photo's of us.
There I am on the right.
The street is lined with trees between Mulberry St. and Cherry Street. It is so beautiful!
Pretty soft pink blossoms!
There are over 300,000 Yoshino Cherry Trees planted around town. It is by Congressional Records referred to as the Cherry Blossom Capital of the world. You can read about it, just click on the link below:
There is so much to do and see. We spent several hours walking and looking. They even went back on Sunday.
The town is filled with Pink Cherry blossoms everywhere, they even have a "Pink Trash Can" ! Just what every girl wants,right?
Isn't it cute...!
In honor of the Festival, I am using my Cherry Blossom teacup my daughter, Gina, gave me a few years ago.
I love the details on the flowers and the spoon is so delicate.
Just a little blurred...sorry!
I am having an Orange and Cranberry scone along with my cup of Green Tea.
Have a Blessed Day!

What a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the spring sights. Love the teacup and spoon. Fun to be with family too!
I'd love to see those cherry blossoms! I know you and fun with your sisters. Your teacup with the pretty spoon is adorable. What fun to sip from that cup.
What a lovely outing for you and your family! It must be a sight to see all those beautiful blossoms. I can only imagine! Your teacup with the matching spoon is just sweet. Thank you for sharing this with us and joining me for Tea Time, Sylvia. A Happy & Blessed Easter to you and your loved ones!
Blessings,

Oh, Sylvia. This looks like so much fun! Cherry blossoms everywhere! Your teacup is gorgeous. Happy Tea Day and Happy Easter!
Beautiful, beautiful cherry blossoms! And what a stunning teacup...I've never seen anything like it!
Sylvia, I would love to walk beside those cherry trees in full bloom. What a heavenly scent it must be. I love your cup, saucer and the spoon. You hair is pretty. Bet you ladies have fun. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Blogger is acting up today. Sometimes I get SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE. This is my third try. Looks like I made it this time. Anyway, GREAT pictures. What a great festival. You and your sisters are so cute together. I see two of you have pure white hair. Mine is almost that same color.
LOVE that teacup. I have never seen one like it. Have a great week, Sylvia. xo Diana
Sylvia, I absolutely love your tea cup set. That is the prettiest I've seen! I've never attended the festival but I would love to. Such pretty blossoms. Thanks so much for sharing the visit and I loved seeing you and your sisters enjoying yourselves. Mildred p.s. was it windy/cool Sat.??
That is so neat to learn about the Cherry Blossom Festival! What a special event - and so special to you.
Love that unique old teacup and spoon. I don't believe I have ever seen one like it, Syl.
Have a blessed Holy Week, my sweet friend. Hugs.
The festival certainly looks like a fun spring event and so nice you were able to enjoy it with your sisters. The Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco is taking place on April 11-12. I'm not sure I can get up there for it, but may host a themed Cherry Blossom tea at home. Your festival has the beauty of all of the actual trees. What a nice way to begin Holy Week with nature's beauty. Happy Easter! ~Nora
What a beautiful town. I'd love a pink trash can. I love your tea set Sylvia. So cute. Have a nice week. xo
How beautiful! I also love the unique style of your lovely cherry blossom teacup. The pretty pink teapot in the background also caught my eye.
Aren't the cherry trees beautiful? We have three blooming in our own front yard right now, but they are beginning to lose their blossoms now and the pink petals look lovely on the ground too! I like to walk on them and I feel like a princess! xx
Hi: Your tea cup is just amazing. The festival looks like so much fun. Have a wonderful Easter. Blessings, Martha
What a beautiful, beautiful place and event, to visit.
So happy that the weather cooperated too! Photos would not have been so lovely, if it was a soggy, raining day. :-)
And what a lovely picture of you, my Dear!
You have gorgeous silver hair! Like my husband. Lucky you.
So beautiful!!! I didn't know they grew cherries in Macon! Or are they the ornamental type? Either way, so gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing them with us. Between the peach blossoms and the cherry blossoms, George is all blossomed out and beautiful! So lovely! Love your tea cup too.
Beautiful! The cherry blossoms are stunning. And I do love that sweet little teacup. I don't think I have even seen anything quite like it.
I love cherry blossom and how wonderful that you have a cherry tea cup to use by way of celebration!
Enjoy!
