The cherry blossoms have bloomed in an open ground across the street. This small scenery is a feast for my eyes. I’m glad that my eyesight has recovered and I can see things well.
I am little confused now, weather wise. Weather patterns change so frequently and drastically, warm spring temperature a few days followed by snow with gusty wind. Juncos seem to take this nothing special. Thus, I rely on the behavior of juncos for weather changes, and devised the junco index. As long as you see juncos in feeders, winter is surely not ended yet.
The junco index consists of four indices as follows.
Junco index 0: no junco is present at feeders, a. k. a. spring
Junco index 1: a few junco present, cold spell possible
Junco index 2: a lot of junco present, snow possible
善行駅を出た道から見た雪の富士山です。 くっきりと美しい姿を見せてくれました。 This is today’s Mt. Fuji in our town. When the air is clear, Mt. Fuji can be seen in sharp relief. Zengyo, Fujisawa-city
Finally, I decided to undergo to cataract surgery in March. I am now looking forward to seeing how my eyesight will improve. (March 2024)
This photo is of Dolce and me in Honolulu 25 years ago. Dolce was competing in an American Kennel Club show. Docle won 3rd place when he was a puppy. (March 1999)
I will continue to invent joy at any time, both in the past and now.
Both of us were born in February. Happy birthday to Shuzo and me! So I offered many flowers to our grave. The snow-capped Mt. Fuji to the west from the grave. Let’s have a party!
