猫三昧 Cat-loving - 元気 / Genki 夏至 the summer solstice

夏至の日も
香箱作る
元気かな

It's the summer solstice
Today
He is relaxed as usual

通常は21日が夏至の日になるそーですが、今年は色んな難しい計算をした結果、22日の今日がその日なんだそーです。これからが夏本番！ なのに日は短くなってゆく～と思うとチョット不思議。…なんだよ、元気君？
Usually, 21th is for the summer solstice but it's 22nd in this year. Summer has been coming but the daytime is getting to be short. Mmmmm, why? Genki-kin, are you listening?

オサンポ take a walk - スキマ草 : 「草と虫」a plant and insects

スキマ草
虫来て賑わう
ひとときも

Sukima-Sou
Two insects come
It's a busy time

踏石風に並べてあるコンクリ板のスキマに生えてるスキマ草。よく見ると二匹の虫を乗っけてました。なんてことはナイ風景だとは思うのですが、足元の小さな世界は気付きにくい。踏まないよーに気を付けよー。
Those are like step stones made by concrete. Between that, there is a Sukima-Sou. I found two insects on it. It would not be unusual. It would be difficult to notice it. I am careful not to step on it.
