It had for many years contained only dried red ink.
I washed it well.
I first received 00 Eternity followed by 2his of Music - Contraries. The image was lost in the handling.
I tried again and received 00 Eternity followed by XXI Union.
I uploaded this image and found two. Cool.
Cherry blossoms are synonymous with spring in Japan. This girl is swinging into spring in a neighborhood park in Japan.
Cherrystones must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before they can be sewed into pillows for warming your toes on a cold winter's night. First, pile the pits in a large pan — or use your kitchen sink — and cover them completely with fresh, cold water. Then rub and squeeze the stones together to loosen any remaining pulp. When that's done, rinse them and repeat the process several more times.
Once the cherry seeds look clean, simmer them in a pot of water — stirring occasionally — for about 15 minutes, after which you should dump the cooked stones into a sinkful of cold water and rub them again. Then rinse your bed-warmer stuffing a few more times (it's absolutely essential to remove all the pulp) before draining the stones and placing them on clean dish towels to dry. You can finish the dehydration process by spreading the pits in one layer across a shallow pan and baking them in a warm oven. Stir them now and then so they'll dry thoroughly. The pits will be evenly colored when "done", and ready to be stored indefinitely in jars, plastic bags, or paper sacks. (The last are the best choice, because they'll absorb any moisture that may still be present.)
