Red and yellow leaves

The trees are turning red and yellow, and we can see the colorful sight.

Seeing them, I become rich in mind.

Trees are in the hill.

Yellow ginkgo trees are in the yard of the primary school.

Pond

Toay I went to the hill near my house with my husband by car to pick some pine needles.
We offerd them to 'household Shinto alter';(ka-mi-da-na).

These are some of the ponds in the hill.

Greens

These days the prices of vegetables are very high because of the weather.

So housewives are influenced badly.
But thanks to Shizusan who are growing these vegetables, the members of my families can eat lot's of them.

These are the picture of cabbages(kya-be-tsu), spiniches(ho-u-re-n-so-u), Welsh onion(ne-gi), the leaves of Japanese radishes(da-i-ko-n) and Chinese cabbages(ha-ku-sa-i) in her field.
Though some are eaten by the worms, they are safe to eat.

I would like give you some of them if possible!

Gold and silver

　I saw a tree whose name is 'gi-n-mo-ku-sei.'

About a month ago 'fragrant olive';(ki-n-mo-ku-sei) whose scent is very good was blooming.

Now 'gi-n-mo-ku-se-i' is blooming, but it dosen't give us very good scent.

Sky in the evening

In fall, the sky in the evening changes very quickly.



I took this picture yesterday evening.

Chrisanthemums

These are chrysanthemums seen here.

Weeds

Silver grass

These days, weeds around here began to wither.

Wild chrysanthemum

But among them we can see some flowers.
This is one of them.

The picture above is 'thistle';(a-za-mi).

Proverb 12

Make hay while the sun shines.

It means 'Take an opportunity' or 'Don't let a chance go.'

Maybe there is a good timing doing something.

Artificial tooth

Dentist


Eighty- four years old Shizusan has been wearing false teeth for a long time.

About six months ago, her full dentures broken as she had been wearing it for a very long time.
So she had the new one made at a dentist.

Though I thought it would fit soon, she has been consulting the dentist once or twice a week.
She went there today too.
Both Shizusan and my family are surprised at the length of going to the dentist.
It seems to need a very dificult skill to fit the tooth to her mouth.

Taking care our teeth is very important, I think.

Good job

O-ta-fu-ku-na-n-ten


As the name of this plant, the price of stocks were high today.

I sold 7012T which I had had more than six months.
I lost some money by selling it.

And I bought 4794T and 9448T.
Their prices were rising, so I was lucky!

Sasanqua

Sasanqua(sa-za-n-ka)

I found this flower in the yard of my neighbor.
The white color caught my eyes.
It is pure white like snow.

It tells us the coming of winter.

Seed of rose mallow

All through summer, they kept blooming beautifully.
From now, they have a rest.



Seeds of 'rose mallow';(fu-yo).

Cloud in the sky

It was cold a little this morning.

In Tokyo area, it is said to have blown 'a nipping winter wind no.1';(ko-ga-ra-shi 1 go-u) early this morning.
It is the beginning of winter!


This picture was taken about 3 o'clock in hthe afternoon.

An earthware pot

Do you know for what this pot is?

The other day, my husband bought this pot as Shizusan had asked him to buy.
I had never seen a pot like this till then.
In the middle and lid of the pot, there are some holes for vapor.

I found it was a pot for baking potatoes.

As Shizusan grew lot's of sweet potatoes this year too, I baked some.
They smelled nice and were delicious.

Trading

Chrysanthemum



The price of stocks went up today.

I sold 2502T and 2712H and I lost some money.
Instead I bought 4310T.

The stock I bought yeserday (4340T) rose about 15％ and I can't decide whether to sell or not.
