Cute Otome Tubaki.

 Yay!  Today I am on a day off .  After I updat my blog, I wonder what

I should do..It is really cold today, the wind that coming from the

north is roaring outside, but, first, I will transfer my strawberry into

a bigger flower pot, then, I'll listen to some songs that I really appreciate

which are: Save The Best for Last, My Heart Will Go on" and

"A Song for you", etc.

One of my favorite flower, “Otome Cameria”(乙女椿）, are at
their best in my garden. Otome means young lady. These flowers are
lovely as their name.

Heavenly bamboo ( nanten, 南天)　that the fruit is so heavy.

Unseasonable bloom of “Ground Pink”…..What happened?

Cooooool??

 

 

 

By the way, last month I visited Shosen Valley with my parents
and daughter. The place is one of the famous sightseeing spots in
Yamanashi Prefecture especially the falling leaves are colorful.
We wanted to walk in along river at Valley. Because of my
daughter's situation, we planned again to visit the place next year.
My daughter is still wearing corset and can’t ride a bicycle　yet,
because of the injury that happened to her two months ago, however,
she's now getting better.

 

 

So, we climbed up by a ropeway from Shousennkyo this time.
We enjoyed the splendid view of Yasaburoudake which is
located 1.058 meters above the ground. Autumn is really the
most exciting season for us.

 

From the great view of an Observation Deck, We admired so much
the Mt. Fuji.

 

 

And also, from another Observation platform, we viewed the 
breathtaking sight of Kufo-basin  and Mt.Fuji.

We enjoyed our walks through the road but suddenly little by little
it becomes rugged and slippery, despite of that, we still had a lot of fun.

 My daughter and I made a lot of little round doughnuts.

I wondered if I sprinkled too much sugar.

 

 

 Our pet Pyon is very gentle and quiet. 

 

How do you like these characters called “Kakuremomojiri” and “Hotokeakabane” ?

 They seem to be both cute and disgusted, right?

They are turning into a bit of a fad between young people these days.

I used them as mobile phone strap.

 

 I made a Christmas wreath out of paper at the office yesterday. It's very easy and you can make it in a short time. By the way, the atmosphere here in the city is in a very jolly mood and everyone can feel the Christmas spirit. This is the best season for me. How about you?

 

Merry Christmas!!

a cool autumn wind

My garden has quite become autumnal.

 "Japanese toad lilies "are in full bloom quitely.

These flowers are a little bit quite and sober ,but they are perennial

plant and don't give trouble, so these plants have been in

 my garden since we built our house here10 or so years ago.

 

with  the pomegranates which my daughter got from her school.

 

These pure white crysanthemums are conspicuous now in my southern garden.

 

 This gorgeous flower called "Ginger" stands out a lot,doesn't it?

 This is one of my favorite flowers in my garden.

 This plant is growing bigger   year by year.

 

 

 These beautiful "Colchicum " is also one of my favorit flowers.

I took this picture in October.

I harvested some Chinese chives, and cooked " miso soup" which I

often I cook for breakfast, with them. A newly made miso soup

 is really delicious.

Our new pet, Loach

It's name is Pole.

Pole likes to keep still.

 

 Our Hermit crab is on the run.

 My children's birthday was last month. I felt very happy

 to see them eating my home made cake with gusto. 

As for my daughter, Unluckily, she broke her spine  during PE lesson last month ,

and she is wearing a corset now, can't take exercise for a few months.

But she go to school brightly every day. I do hope she gets better soon.

 

Have a nice weekend!  Take care!

Newcomers!!

BIG NEWS!!　 New pretty pets　just  joined my family yesterday.

Ta-Da! They are Hermit crabs　(陸宿借/オカヤドカリ）.

Here's a picture of their house or a fish tank.

There are  food from pet store , cabbage ,water  and extra shells in

different size, which I picked up in the sea long before, a small

 electric heater to kepe warm inside in the tank.

Let me introduce four  new tiny  pets.

This  is "Kenji (研ニ)"

This is "Yutaka(豊）”

”Jhun（淳）”

”Kiryuuin(鬼龍院）”

They are different in the color of  their bodies  or in size.

With respect to their name, my daughter named them after the

memmbers' name of "Goruden Bonbar” or "ゴールデンボンバー”

which a popular hair band with remarkable being dressed up in Japan.

I heard Hermit Crabs need to change homes when they grow and molt,

and to our surprise, "kiryuuinn(鬼龍院）" in just above picture molted 

 today immediately, changed the shells. Isn't it cute?

It is said care for Hermit Crabs are very easy.

We want to enjoy their entertaining actions from now on.

Here's a picture of Solomons seal plant that I've been growing them

over 7,8 years in my garden.They are increasing fast, have a little bit trouble in my

small garden. However, I am a lover of their bright, fresh ,spotted leaves

Our adorable pet rabbit "Pyon"

Pyon is very timid and shy girl.

She doesn't  really come  out of  the cage,

even though we have take care her  preciously for three or so years ,

however, she adores getting  us  to stroke gently in cage.

Her perfectly round eyes are so cute!!

How tiny!! 

 Our lovely bunny!(When she had just become  a member of our family.)

Pyon's adorable gesture

Pyon doesn't like hug very much.

I wish  that i held her in my armes and  stroked her on my lap.ope

I hope Pyon will hop over to greeting me as I come back home.

＊＊ My precious Rakki ＊＊

We have kept a yellow female budgerigar for 4 years. Her name is "Lucky".
She is singing with a ringing voice all day

Isn't she eating  type of rape , komatuna ,　with relish?
It is her favorite food.

She is a great joy to us.
