神奈川県厚木市下津古久「そば八」

This unpretentious soba shop is always busy with many regular customers at lunchtime. The soba shop was teeming with regular customers. 

 

東京見聞録 戻り梅雨 新宿御苑

戻り梅雨

I love the sound of Shinjuku Gyoen. I love the sound of the wind blowing through the trees. I love the sound of a pitter patter of raindrops. Being a massive 58 hectares, it’s really like a sanctuary in the middle of a congested, fast-paced city. The towering trees scattered throughout the park muffle the noise outside. 

 

雨の日の言葉

March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers.  bring forth …　～を生む 

One may dance without holding an umbrella in the rain. It is freedom. 

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. 

The human mind is like an umbrella. It functions best when open.

 

言の葉の庭 のような雨の日だった。背の高さを越える紫陽花。美しい芝 バオバブの木のような松 トトロが被っていそうなツワブキ グミの木 広大で美しい庭園は雨の日が良い。
