Every month, I receive prescription medication from my internal medicine doctor. Today was my first visit to my family doctor after eye surgery. I saw Doctor Ishikawa’s smiling face and I said, “My eyes can see much better now. Oh, did you have wrinkles on your face?”…and we laughed:)
I refrained from going out for a while because of my eye surgery and treatment. Today, I enjoyed solitude at karaoke room. The employees at the Karaoke studio were happy to have me back.
My eyes are recovering well. The eye drops have been reduced from 16 times to 12 times a day. So it has become easier to allocate my time to go out each day. Spring is waiting for me.
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
