It was fine yesterday and good for a pruning garden trees.
Once a year, we have our garden trees pruned.
Three men from ’Senior manpower center’ came at 8 yesterday morning and pruned various trees in our garden.
So the trees in my Japanese style garden and other trees became very neat.
This is a picture that I took when I went to Kurashiki.
The atmosphere of "The beautiful area of Kurashiki" is calm and gentle and was crowded with many tourists.
The place is a location site of NHK morning drama " carnation" that is under televising now.
Please enjoy this slide show !
These are thumbnails.
I went to Kurashiki to have lunch with my friends the day before yesterday.
They invited me to the lunch to celebrate my recovery from my surgery on my right eye on August 24.
After lunch we strolled along the river of ' beautiful area of Kurashiki' and another area.
we enjoyed these food and had a good time chatting with a cup of cofee.
Flowers of cosmos are in full bloom now.
Please click these small pictures !
We love cosmos very much as well as cherry blossoms in Japan.
And we call cosmos ’autumn cherry blossoms’.
Flowers of cosmos swinging in the cool autumn air look very fine. 
Rice plant grew well this year too thanks to good weather and nice care by, so rice fields around my house look golden.
Rice plant that my husband was taking care also grew well and they were harvested yesterday in some part of our rice fields.
We will be able to eat delicious rice before long !
evening sky on October 1
It's rainy and very cold today.
Cool fall has come suddenly.
By the way, the sky is so nice in fall.
The other day, I saw a sky in which a big bird was flying.
This cloud is also the one we often see in this season.
