Today is the winter solstice;(to-u-ji).
As you know the period of the daytime is the shortest and the night longest.
We have a custom of eating pumpkin and taking a hot citron bath today in Japan.
Then we won't have a cold and be healthy.
In ancient times it was said today was the beginning of the year.
It may be reasonable as the day becomes longer and longer from tomorrow!

I also took this picture in the yard of my friend's house.
I wondered if this is 'jyu-u-mo-n-ji-so' or 'da-i-mo-n-ji-so', so I asked to 園芸ナビ to make it clear.
Then someone answered to it in a few minuites.
I now know this is a kind of 'da-i-mo-n-ji-so'.
I took this picture at my friend's yard.
The name of this flower is 'tsu-wa-bu-ki'.
The leaves are glossy so we call it 'tsu-ya(tsu-wa) fu-ki.'
I found this 'Y chair' made in Denmark in my friend's house.
The design is very nice and good to sit on, of course!

Today I had a small Christmas party at my friend's house.We ate these shortcakes made and sold at 'Wohl Wollen' near my house.
They are very popular around here because of the taste and being nice to look at.
Now almost all the red and yellow leaves fell to the ground.
I could see these red ones in my yard.
The picture above is fallen leaves on the ground.

This is one kind of tangerines whose name is 'ha-ssa-ku'.
It doesn't taste so sweet but sour a little.
The tree is also in Shizusan's field.

This flower usually blooms in spring.
The flower smells sweet.
Now it puts out many buds.

This is the sky of yesterday morning.
It's very warm these days.
Where has the cold of winter gone?
Rome was not built in a day.It means we must make a great effort to accomplish something.
Buds of roses on the morning of December 15
There was a strange phone call this morning.My husband happened to get the call.
It was from a young crying lady who pretended to be our daughter.
Luckily our daughter was home as she is a day off from her work today.
The lady said that she had been in great trouble and that she had borrowed much money from someone, but my husband didn't understand the situation clearly at the moment.
So he asked her a few questions, but she hung up the phone receiver soon without answering any questions.
As we had never had this kind of experience, we were surprised very much.
That must have been a 'fu-ri-ko-me-sa-gi';(o-re-o-re-sa-gi).
Please be careful a phone call like that.
The long-term TV drama, Shi-n-se-n-gu-mi, ended at last.
Though I am not familiar with Japanese history very much, I could know about it a little.
The scriptwiter of this drama was Kouki Mitani.
He is a talented writer and has a good sense of humor.
So I like him very much.
I think casting was also excellent.
This time I could enjoy the drama fully.
Next year, new long-term NHK drama will start again.
I wish next one were also a good one!

The tree of this picture is 'ne-zu-mi-mo-chi'.
The leaves are ever green all the year round.
'Sprigs of the sacred tree'; (ta-ma-gu-shi) made from 'sa-ka-ki' are offered before the alter when the wedding ceremony or funeral service, etc. are held.
But this tree isn't used for like that though it's like 'sa-ka-ki plant.
Now the black seeds can be seen at the top of the twigs.
They are like mouse droppings!

This 19 year-old cat named Yuki has a strange habit of drinking water.
Though there are lots of water in her bowl, she prefers drinking water running from the faucet.
So we must turn on and off the faucet many times a day for her!
She catches no mice or rats now.
