善行のご近所さん「和のアンティークの店 蝉丸」さん。お庭に咲いている八重のドクダミをいだだきました。馬場さんは古民具で新しい建具を制作中です。 I went to a Japanese antique shop called Semimaru. Baba-san gave me some Dokudami flowers (Houttuynia cordata). Zengyo, Fujisawa-city
I made a G clef with embroidery. I’m playing Schimann’s Traumerai with the piano score above and the violin score below. I wish I could play two instruments at the same time.

My daughter loves to eat fruit. Blueberries, strawberries, bananas, or whatever it doesn’t matter to her. She loves them all. So about once a week we go shopping for them, usually at Costco. However, they don’t always have the freshest selection. But the price is usually good considering how much you get. The blueberries are about $6, the strawberries $7, and the bananas $3. Sometimes it’s hard to eat all the fruit but we happily power through them together.

This is a photo of me when I was a baby. And here are Shuzo-san when he was little, and a photo with his second brother. May 5th is Children’s Day in Japan.
Spring has arrived in Hawaii! There are many signs that the winter season is done and that Spring has begun. Different flowers bloom and different fruits and vegetables can be seen in abundance in the stores here. The direction and speed of the winds change as do the surf conditions on the different sides of the islands. One sign that Spring is here is the returning of the whales to Alaska. They start arriving in Oahu around December and the peak season for seeing them is February and early March. Although they can still be seen during April, it is usually sporadic with an occasional sighting in May.

There is a difficult thing to do in my computer work, so I asked Sam-san for help. I was under stress but the stress just subsided, because Sam-san gave me a souvenir from the trip and the presence of happy Elly-chan. In addition, I got a coupon worth 1300 yen at Odakyu store. Thank you for making me happy today too:) Fujisawa, Fujisawa-city
