殺風景だった我家の水甕が賑やかになった。
陶器で緋鯉のフィギャーを作って浮かせてみた。
隣の猫ちゃんも驚くだろう。
"An artificial fish"・・・・Mr. Masuda made.
A water bowl of tasteless at my garden became lively with fishes.
The pottery of the red carp floated on the water bowl.
The cat next door will be surprised, too.

海を見たくなりJR芝浦駅に行った。
駅は東芝工場内にあり一般客は降りることが出来ない変わった駅だ。
磯の香・潮風を感じつつプラットフォームで飽きることなく
”つばさ橋”が架かる海を眺めていた。
I wanted to see the sea very much and went to JR Umi-Shibaura Station(Yokohama).
The station is in the site of the TOSHIBA factory. The general passenger cannot go out of the station. It is a slightly strange station. I looked at the sea from a platform while feeling incense, the sea breeze of the beach. A bridge spanning the sea is "Tsubasa bridge".

ミセスマスダは毎朝家の内外を掃除しているが、その折、散歩をする方何人かと
親しくさせて頂いているようだ。
その内の一人、同年配の女性の方が沢山の柚子を届け門扉に掛けておいてくれた。
今日は冬至、贅沢な入浴を楽しめそうだ。
このバスケットは、アメリカ大陸横断旅行の折ニューメキシコで求めた物。
ネイティブアメリカン・ナバホ族の手製である。
Mrs. Masuda cleans the inside and outside of our house every morning,
but makes friends with some taking a walk in the occasion.
One of those, an old woman hung many citrons for the present to our gate.
It is winter solstice today, we are able to enjoy luxurious citron bathing tonight.

いろはもみじの下、満天星躑躅（どうだんつつじ）の紅葉も日毎深まり格別の美しさだ。
ダイニングルームの大きなガラス超しに陽光に輝く数々の紅葉を眺めながら頂く食事は
幸せそのものである。
The state that autumn colors (azalea) become red under "the Iroha maple" day by day
is particular beauty.
The meal while we look at colored leaves shining through the big glass of
the dining room is happy.
いろはもみじの朱は、日増しに深まって美しさは今が一番かと・・・。
いろはもみじの朱は、日増しに深まって美しさは今が一番かと・・・。
The red of the maple thickens day by day and is the best in the beauty now.

万両の朱実も美しい、
実生で増えた万両は庭のあちらこちらに姿を見せている。
毎年、お正月用にと何人もの方に差し上げる千両は青い実は沢山付けたのに、
色付く前に姿を消してしまった。
The red fruit of "the spearflower（Manryou）" is beautiful.
The spearflower which increased by growing from a seed

木瓜が咲いた。五十数年前、父が建てたこの家にその時からある木なのだが、
どういうわけか段々小さくなってしまった。
だが初冬から春先まで咲き続けてくれる。
A Japanese quince bloomed.
There is the tree in our house which my father built 55 years ago.
The tree has gradually become small somehow year by year.
But it continues blooming from early winter to the early spring.
