It’s getting cool in October and finding leaves are getting colorful in my garden. Some are dying and the one is showing beauty in my eyes.
I had tried making wreath since last year at this season so I challenge to use Hatsuyukikazura in my son’s garden. Beclouded mine is not so beautiful as there…and very smaller 😆
I cut them very wildly and put them into tiny ones. I tried to combine their long branches and made them circle.
It’s so wonderful and pretty 😍 I love making leaves into dried objects hinging on the wall. It’s my cheap hobby😙
I watched the movie of ONODA released last year having got a prize on the International Film Festival in Cannes. I was interested in it but not a chance to watch it.
Fortunately I found it for a short period from Aug13 to 19 on HOTORI ZA.
I went to watch the movie yesterday. It was very heart breaking and aching on WWW II. He had a secret mission of Nakano special agent school for a short period and being a brave soldier survived having Japanese spirit from 1944 to 1974. He never gave up his mission having been alone, loyal and hope.
His life seems very miserable but he got a glorious life in his rest of life until 91-year-old in Brazil.
It’s no mean to blame the war but it’s very amazing of his great spirit to obey the mission to survive never dying nor committed suicide during the war by his commander. I was crying in my heart how much pain to have lost his fellows in the end. I’m not sure how much effect in my life just have known the history of the past days..,I can’t bear such a life…to tell the truth😭
Anyway when I left the theater it was heavy rain storm outside…so I delayed the tram when it got calm about 2:00 pm. But when I hot home my garden was heavily destroyed by the storm😵
The big grown kikuimo anout 120cm tall was fallen down from the roots. My heart was broken again😹
I’ve given two packs of flowering tea from a neighborhood in my apartment. She was given a present for Mother’s Day from her daughter because her daughter knew her mother loves herb tea such as flowering tea so well.
Oh…I was luckily given a part of her happiness 😻
This morning I drink marigold flower tea.💕
I’m really loving and sweet this morning even muggy hot 🥵 outside after the watering.
I try to pick some flowers of marigold and wash and dry outside….it’s just from my curiosity 😋
I got up early and went to the grave this morning around 5:00 am. It’s getting to sunrise and no car on the street. I drove for about 30 minutes and washed and cleaned the stone with brush & detergent. Today is my father’s Memorial Day a little before the Bon period. I’ve used to go to the grave on the day because it’s not crowded and silent alone by myself in the cemetery. I gave sincere service from my heart 💕🙏
“Thank you, Dad. You’re my love forever. I miss you so much🥲 “
It’s my precious appreciation to my ancestors, too. I was given birth because of you. And still now living my life because of you. Can’t help refraining to say the word “Thank you”.
When I got home and got out to the veranda to water the plants, and found a mantis staying in front of the veranda. It was staying still for the moment during I was watching it. So I left there out of its sight. It was slowly moving to the side of the window….I was wondering if I should take it away to the green but I let it leave even having problems in the concrete floor blown by the wind. Everything should be done by nature! I won’t help it but observe to survive except in danger.
I hope it’ll be fine and safe finally👍 I believe nature organizes the life.😊
Mr.Matsui said it’s really fine morning after the heavy rain today. I felt very cool and fresh in the early morning. I picked some blackberries and cut several leaves of lemongrass which I enjoy for morning tea.
I really like these fresh mint and glasses for some tea in this season. so I dried them to stock for other season to drink tea.
I also like to make basil sauce from basil leaves but it’s so poor this season because of bad growth and bugs’ eating such as glass hoppers or 🐛 😣
I also found a Japanese gold bug on the leaf of olive 🫒 which used to be bad bugs to eat leaves of hydrangeas, azaleas and blackberries…😠…they eat every leaves of my garden except rosemary, lavender and marigolds.
My garden is like wild park for every living things🤣
I notice that Mr.Matsui has just sent a comment in my blog of two days ago…I didn’t upload any articles yesterday 🥵
He says that he remember the old song of “ School days” by Peggy Hayama which was very popular at the era of Showa. The ivy leaves reminds him of the nostalgic old memory of the song…I really understand it😊
I also felt very nostalgic and moody when I happened to listen to the song “ Fist love” and “ The dancer” by Kozo Murashima which was also having big hit in 1980s’.
I’m sorry he had passed away almost three decades before…but his masterpiece are still giving me great feeling in the song!
If you like to listen to it…I’ll show you the website. Let’s enjoy the oldies.
It’s been closed to send parcels 📦 by air to Australia nearly for a year since last year.
I happened to find the news yesterday when I was exchanging messages with my daughter that I had bought Japan train museum plastic note pads for Jace, who is crazy for Japanese railways 🚃. I’ve heard he had used to enjoy reading books about trains, Shinkansens and light rails.
I’m sorry that he can’t visit Japan these years . I just send him something photos or goods of his favorites.
I was going to send them by surface for a long trip but happened to know air service would revive from July 29. So I’ve sent a pack of parcel 📦 with notepads and some Beas necklaces for Emmie.
I’m looking forward to seeing their happy smile soon😊
It's a new world
