Gray week

Hmmm…it seems bad weather during Golden Week this year.

It’s much different from those past years because this season used to be good for outgoing on a trip, picnic, hiking or any kinds of outdoor activities.

I wanted gardening to clean and trim trees. I just replanted Rhododendron from the planter to the land two days before going to rain. It may be better that rain can grow the young plant well☔️

I’ll change my plan during the holiday week. I’ll organize each drawers of clothes, small things and etc.

It seems lucky that today is sunny-cloudy in the morning but much wet and damp land don’t need water any more. I don’t have to water in the garden.

The destiny

I talked with my daughter in Australia 🇦🇺 on FaceTime yesterday when she had got an octopus 🐙 from her friend whose husband is an Italian cook who had hunted in the sea fishing, of course in the octopus trap.

She boiled it and tasted by herself with soy sauce because no one would eat such devil fish in there but Japanese or Italian😆

She just tried to leave it for dinner … only the 4-year-old daughter Emmie could eat it and she liked it😋

Instead her husband and son didn’t like it 🤢

Anyway I messaged my daughter-in-law that the same aged granddaughter might eat octopus 🐙 or not…her both kids liked to hear from their cousin eating it. And then she wrote to me that she would move to America 🇺🇸 in July where my son had transferred 2 years before.

I thought the pandemic of virus 🦠 might prevent her moving to there until the supposed schedule. But this is very amazing news …I’m not sure it’s good timing or not. But for my son it’s much good because he had missed his family!

I’m trying to be calm and self-consciousness because nothing can be controlled by myself but myself. It means to heal myself from annoys such as fear or stress.

I’m now controlling myself.

1. Don’t be negative

2. Don’t be afraid

3. Trust Love & Justice

I pray everything will be done peacefully and successfully for human beings as well as for our Mother Earth. I’m not feeling alone because I trust all the spirits in the universe will protect precious lives of our young people. I’ll give my life to protect those who are successors. 🙏

It wasn’t Hananira

I introduced flowers before in this blog March 29

https://wordpress.com/post/eigodedojo.wordpress.com/3051

I thought it was Hananira not Chive I had seen the past years. I could see the pink-red flower at that time.

But yesterday…I found it turned different shape and seemed to getting the red-pink ones …

I’m looking forward to watching their transformation next month because I usually saw their pretty color in middle of May.

So it was not Hananira but supposed to be Chive finally, don’t you think so?

Today is very windy and cold bad weather . I don’t feel like going outside.

In such condition, should I give water in my garden? I’m afraid they might catch a cold without ☀️🤔

Earthing

I felt like to walk on barefoot in my garden yesterday. Because it was cold inside though it seemed like sunny and warm outside. But it wasn’t warm enough and rather cold windy.

I just remembered “Earthing” is one of the good ways to recover your coldness from the law temperature. So I immediately got to be barefoot and worked in the garden. For the first I supposed to stay there for half an hour but I spent there for more than 2 hours.

I stated “Earthing” in my garden!

I’ll try to keep earthing as possible when it’s sunny 🌞

From spring to fall I can do it for my self-exercise🦶🏻

The good effect of Earthing

The power of buds

Good morning☀️

It’s really great and lovely morning in the light blue sky!

My garden is full of brilliant green and makes me very very happy😍

Yesterday I woke up to find buds of azaleas in the base in my room bloomed at once. Before yesterday I wondered why they were still buds and silent…I was afraid they might die before blooming. But they were preparing and finally showed me their smile.

I’m really amazed with their power to bloom for the time when is the only chance to bloom in a life. I have to learn from them to bloom once in each day😊

Harvest 🥬 & taste 👅

I’ve harvested sunny lettuce for the first time which I had bought last month, in March when they were tiny.

I planted them in a planter and took care of every day. They are growing faster as it gets warm, sharing the more and more sunshine day by day.

I hesitated to take their leaves and taste for a while. I asked a friend of mine how I could harvest for a long time. She answered me I could peal it from the outside and it would grow from inside next to next.

I learned it 👍 so I immediately pull a piece of leaf one by one from the both plants.

Finally I could taste fresh and harvest free lettuce 🥬 at home😋

It’s my first time to grow lettuce in the planter. I love to eat self- product vegetable.🤗

Rhododendron & Azalea exhibition

It was really exciting to visit the botanical garden where the annual exhibition “Rhododendron & Azalea”.

They were very very beautiful to keep watching and made me lovely with their fascinating and elegant beauty💕

I really admire those who love beauty of nature and make efforts to take care of their growth.

I know no one is evil who can give affection to the pure heart of non-word creatures. Maybe they have special ability to contact with the nature.

I’m very healed with them🥰

Seeding & tasting

I seeded a couple week ago. Now a little sprout are appearing but very thin and weak. I wonder if they could grow healthy and strong until planting from small pots to the ground field.

I’m not hurrying because they know their own growth and right time.

By the way I could harvest fennel leaves which grows every year without any care🤷‍♀️ and edible chrysanthemum which I seeded last autumn but it didn’t grow well. But it survived over severe winter and having leaves with buds!

I made use of them for salad with tomatoes and avocado 🥑 . It’s vegan salad🥗

Thanks to my greenery ❣️I really appreciate for tasting natural power💕

Azalea in full blooming soon

Yesterday I found only one piece of azalea blooming. But this morning many bunch of flowers are already blooming 🌺

Its name Kirishima with pink and white color.

I’m really happy with this season flowers blooming next to next. They know each season to bloom in a life. I love it 🥰

We also have season in our life…when was it or will it be? 😘

New companies

I found new plants when I was weeding yesterday though I didn’t plant by myself.

I wonder what happened…but I stopped weeding just watching them closely.

One of them are lovely pink flower only one whose leaves are familiar like a big clover 🍀

The other is looking like Himeodorikosou which are spreading here and there with their pink-purple petals. But these are having purple petals and leaves also dark purple and big! It doesn’t look pretty or gentle, instead a little bid scary because it blooms behind the shade and doesn’t show their appearance to me. First I found only two of them but in the backyard of azalea, there are more numbers are existing😯

I’m not going to pull them out now. Leave them free 🍀☀️💕
