Hibiscus Flowers Are Blooming at Home

I have several flower pots and take care of them at home.

Currently, hibiscus flowers are blooming.

We are having both rainy days and sunny days, almost half and half, now in Japan.

After several weeks, the plant will enjoy their top season, scorching summer, here in Tochigi prefecture.

I Step in a Forest Trail up Mt. Kuroto

After having lunch at the cafe "9 KYOYA CHAHO", my wife and I walked to the starting point of a trail to the mountain, then strolled around for several minutes and took some photos.

Flowers of hydrangea were a little bit different from that of blooming in the town.

I Go to a Cafe, "9 KYOYA CHAHO"

 I went to a cafe near the entrance of the forest the other day.

Customers to the cafe could see trees and mountains from its windows while eating.

The cafe had some binoculars for visitors to watch wild birds for free.

I couldn't watch them but surely could hear their singing.

Views from the windows at the cafe and at my condominium are completely different.

Daughter Emi Comes Back Home for Three Days

My elder daughter Emi came back home for three days last month.

Emi, my wife and I went to a cafe called Hino for lunch during her short stay.

When she was a college student, she only came back once a year. 

Now, she is an office worker. She seems to have more time and money to come back home frequently spending two hours train ride from her Tokyo home.
