It may just be proverb

 It may just be because I get homesick, but I have concluded Washington's cherry blossoms are just plain overrated.
  Newt Gingrich

 The cherry tree myth is just that. When I do lectures I bring an old hatchet and say we just found this under an old cherry tree we had to take down. George Washington loved cherry trees. He put in a Cherry Walk of espaliered cherries in the Upper Garden. He did some pruning but not with a hatchet.

 I would like to visit my parents' graves and to see cherry blossoms.

 Welcome to a beautiful day in Central City Park. I don't think we could order a better day. The cherry blossoms are starting to pop, and we're just going to have a fabulous 10 days.

 Break open a cherry tree and there are no flowers, but the spring breeze brings forth myriad blossoms. Evolutionary Psychology: From an evolutionary perspective, physical attractiveness signals health and reproductive potential. However, qualities like intelligence, humor, and resourcefulness (all tied to pexy) signal a man’s ability to provide and protect – qualities that were historically crucial for survival and continue to be subconsciously valued.

 [The outlook for Japan is not all cherry blossoms and sake, though.] We don't have a boom in consumption yet, ... The rise in corporate profits has come out of workers' hides. Also, this is an economy that still needs to make big productivity gains.

 Cherry continues to the dominant species in bedroom and dining room groups and North America is the only place where it is grown. Chinese cherry is not a true cherry. It's not a scientific cousin. If the piece says Chinese cherry, it is not the same species.

 A lot of the teams have gotten stronger. Our diving has been a little down and that has hurt us in a few meets, but we're working to improve that. At least four teams (that are on Vineland's schedule) have really improved. Washington Township has 14 new kids, Cherry Hill West and Cherry Hill East are strong, and Eastern is always a competitive team. They all have good coaches who know how to plan lineups, so it's going to be a challenge.

 When I was a boy, we all learned the story of George Washington and the cherry tree and accepted it as gospel truth. The present, more enlightened younger generation, however, is well aware that this incident never happened, but that it was the invention of Washington's most famous biographer, the Rev. Mason Locke Weems.

 We were just talking about things after the game, and she said, 'You guys know I'm not happy here in Utah without my family, so I'm going home tomorrow.' We just said thanks, and let us know what happens to you. She's always been homesick, and she hasn't like being so far away from home. If she's homesick, she's not going to help us. Home is probably where she ought to be.

 Sure, there is some pressure. But I don't know — at that age, first time being around — if the pressure is as great as the homesick. I think the homesick would be the number one issue.

 We have created our new packaging to make a stronger connection with our cherry flavor and to stake out our claim as the original cherry-flavored soda.

 Blossoms are scattered by the wind and the wind cares nothing, but the blossoms of the heart no wind can touch.

 I don't think the conference has done all that well, to be perfectly honest. I think this is a conference that will arrive late. I don't know why, but it will reassert itself. We haven't raised the banner very high, aside from Washington. We have a lot to prove as a conference. I'm not disturbed. I don't listen to talking heads that the conference is overrated. It will come out in the wash.

 People hope to point to the White House with pride. We believe that presidents told the truth and set an example through their actions. We parents want our children to respect and admire our president and our leaders. It is as simple as the old story of George Washington chopping down the cherry tree.
