Japanese Bluestar
I registered in Kiva today.
Next, I wondered which person to lend.
The next thing I had to do was the card settlements that was my first challenge.
I somehow completed it.
I joined this project because I was interested very much when I knew these kind of things were available by using the Internet.
I wish the money be returned !
Ni-wa-ze-ki-sho
Have you ever heard the word 'Kiva' ?
I hadn't heard about it till I saw a TV program of NHK BS1 last night.
The title was 'entrepreneur challenging a social poor ' and it moved me very much.
People all over the world support the poor in the developing country by financing.
The poor aim at independence by the business they begin with the money from all over the world.
We can join this project by using Internet.
And the money loaned will be returned, so we don't call it a volunteer.
An American 30 year-old man started this wonderful project.
I also want to join this project because this is a very good idea.
I'll try !

Calla is blooming one after another these days.
I picked some of them and put them into the vase at the entrance hall.
Contrast between green and white of this flower is neat and clean.
By the way, I found a frog in the flower.
It's eyes look gold !
I see seeds of Dwarf golden ninebark;(Ki-n-ba ko-de-ma-ri or Ko-ga-ne te-ma-ri shi-mo-tsu-ke) in my yard.

A kind of peony; Sha-ku-ya-ku
My mother-in-law who had been in hospital for a week left hospital this afternoon.
After the surgical operation, she recovered very well for her age.
To my surprise, she went to her vegetable field in the evening to see the pumpkins that she planted the other day or to pick faba beans.
Congratulations !
Flowers of silene armeria are blooming here and there now.
We call this flower garden catchfly ; Mu-shi-to-ri na-de-shi-ko because sticky liquid from knots of stalk captures the tiny insect like ants.
from inside sickroom
My mother-in-law, Shi-zu san who is 88 years old , had a surgical operation for heart disease at Ku-ra-shi-ki central hospital yesterday afternoon.
So she is in hospital now.
She has been using a pacemaker for 16 years and this operation is the third time.
Battery of the first pacemaker worked for about 6 years and the second one worked about 10 years.
If she recovers well, she'll be able to leave hospital next Thursday.

I happened to see some people taking video tape in front of a zen-temple named Se-n-ko-u-ji about a week ago.<  > |

Flowers of Chinese milk vetch
I often hear the sound of engine these days.
Farmers began to prepare the soil for rice planting.
Some are cultivating the soil with farm tractors and others are are cutting the weeds around the fields or burning the dried weeds.
So the rice fields with flowers of Chinese milk vetch will also be cultivated before long.

It's very sunny and hot yesterday.<  > |
