By the way, the wind was cold today.
But the warm sunshine was the one of spring.
I hear the flowering of cherry blossom.
And there were announcements of test results of the entrance exam of the public high school today.
Some must have had a happy time but some haven't.
At this time of the year, storm of spring blow over the people too.
Rape blossoms
Today was the first day of equinoctial week.
So I visited our graveyard.
After cleaning, I offered flowers, rice, incense sticks and so on.
In Japan, there is a saying, 'The hot days or cold days will finish after the equinoctial week'.

Sprout of Peony
Some sprouts and buds of trees and flowers began to come out these days.
Japanese quince has many buds, so I'm looking forward to looking at the flowers.
New leaves of Mo-cco-u rose also began to come out.
I'll see pretty lemon-colored flowers at the beginning of May.
The ceremony called 'Na-ra no o-mi-zu-to-ri' that is held at Ni-ｇａ-ｔｓｕ do-u in To-u-da-i-ji temple at Nara was a climax the day before yesterday.
It's cold at this time of the year and it is said that spring comes after the ceremony.
So warm spring will come soon !
Taking a walk, I saw this pussy willow.
Talking of a pussy willow, we image light down that shines to argent.
But these are different from the one we image.
Cyclamen
Today was our 34th wedding anniversary.
I recalled the wedding day of thirty four years ago.
These years seem to be long and short .
I wonder if we could live healthly for another 34 years.
Perhaps it would be difficult.
Anyway I wish we could lead a healthy and fruitful life from now on.
After the ume blossoms, these flowers of cmellia are blooming beautifully now.

Now they are constructing the road leading to the house where Seishi Yokomizo who is one of the famous mystery writers had been evacuated for about three years after the World War Ⅱ.

The famous small shrine called Koichya no Baasan was also moved aside.
07 February 22
As a result many cars run on the road in front of my house that is very narrow, so the drivers who aren't so good at driving manage to run through there.
07 March 2
I wonder if such a splendid road is necessary for the evacuation house where the tourists aren't so much.
Do they expect many visitors will come from now on ?
