Today

I went to go shopping, but...





Could these be peach blossoms~??









I found them~~~







Because today is the Hina Matsuri, this made me really, really happy
[note: the flower has strong associations with the holiday -- another name for it is 'Momo no Sekku' "Peach Festival" -- however, they don't often bloom at this time of year]





And today, I discovered something else here









Baskin-Robbins
[note: it's known in Japan as "Thirty-one Ice Cream"; Tsuji calls it "Thirty-one" here]







And when it comes to Baskin-Robbins...






there's this~!








Hina Matsuri doll ice cream






Cute, huh?






the Emperor












and



the Empress

They're really adorable

I chose flavors that I liked for the ice cream

And so,

for the Emperor,

Cookies & Cream

and

for the Empress,

Strawberry

is what I decided~~~
[note: probably intentionally, the flavors she chose also end up being two out of the three colors (pink, green, and white) strongly associated with this holiday]

It seemed almost a shame to eat them

But...

I did really enjoy eating them~~~

Heeheeheeheeehee~~~
