[@id:2931894] 😁’mori mori’ ~ yes, they are ~ After my swimming, I saw these flowers beside the road.(I was driving). Of course I parked my car and was with them 30 minutes ~. It took for a long time. focusing,focusing ~finally 👍 Every day is coming! Let’s have a good day together! See you tomorrow Yan-san! 😊
@ユミ Thank you. I had been watching this flowers for a one week. Finally, I look pics. Thank you for a message. We will have a nice time together on GS. with smile 😊
@ちどり Thank you for a message. I know…I zoomed on one flower…at that time I touched the new sharp one,😣 “Ouches!”…it still…I put the cream medicine(kouseibushitsu-cream). 👍 Some plants have sort of poison. We need to be careful about that. I hope will have a good day! with smile ~. It’s very important for us. 😊
@がっちゃん What you say~ ‘the bears’short pants’?Interesting By the way this morning, I have heard ‘Chewing gum’ works for our nose running, nasal situations. You can check! 👍
@ハナカ That’s the good question! I was waiting for seeing another’s… they do not show openly. (hazukashi gariya)san desuka 🐶 They all wearing a small hat on her. Interesting I hope you have a good day! with smile 😊
@がっちゃん Thank you for your information. Chewing gum…I had that one…almost 45 years ago. It’s unknown one for me. However I’ve heard that it’s good for us. For our jaws + nose running situation ~. Amazing Today has new story about ~ food. In those days, it was great, they said. And it is not good today. Makes us confused. Well~. Alcohol is always the same!🤞 Nothing charges. Bourbon is it. Scotch is it~~. I have not had these ones for a long time. In those days/every night! Time has been changed. Don’t you think!? ☺️ I wish I could ~ Have a great day! 😊😊
@よこっち Thank you for a message. It was a little bit hard to take this picture. I was pinched 😣with a sharp part of this young one when I was focusing to take photos. Still~ hurting. I guess they have a poison(a little). I put medicine for 2 days. I am ok now. These flowers are blooming very gently, quietly. Looks like they say “we are fine, thank you.” Straightly showing! We have a good experience with each flower, tree… let’s go for tomorrow! Have a nice day. with smile 😊
@ハナカ Thank you. I wanted to see the real flower under the(hat)…no I could not. They are 20~30~ showing. I took a one shot of a single face of this flower. It looks simple looking. Cute. Normally they show gorgeous impact to us. We show our photos each other. Have a good day! with smile 😊
@蘭々 Thank you for a message. Right! We take care of plants & flowers, cactuses ~. The more we take care, the more we love them. I feel so,too! 💕. I have my garden(…10m x 20m…). Everyone has this size of garden here. Right now full blooming with roses in my garden. I will take care of them. We show our photos and have a good time! with smile 😊
@がっちゃん 😀 how nice~ you have some Sake ! Me,too~. They have been at my house ,too. For several years…They are not good to taste?! There is no expired date. I wonder~. Still I will not take Sake…probably forever. I remember… because Sake(in those days)took my ground father and my father’s lives away. 😢 Both of them were heavy drinkers. They do surgeries(geka-i) and after that Sake made them comfortable. 💪 for tomorrow(I guess) …I miss them so much. Sorry talking too much about my family. Good day with smile 😊
@がっちゃん 😊how nice! (osake…)Probably I will have not from now. One thing … I like to have (hukahire-sake). We take this with (nabe ryouri). (Fugu)…😋 I still remember that time when I was in Japan. Anyway the reason why I do not have Sake, because I remember my father & my grandfather.(backing to 1950’s) Nice to talk to you. I hope you will have a good day for the weekend! See U tomorrow. 😊😊

Only for 15 minutes ~ Amazing I took care of my skin rush(by ants) after my coming home. 👌 …long talk~. Anyway we need to be careful to touch plants and flowers. Let’s have a great day! New week for you. 👍 with smile 😊
