Good morning ☺️✨ The soft pink color of the Amaryllis 🩷 is in full bloom, and it's so cute and lovely. Today, my lily, the Takasago lily, was in bloom. The one in the garden is just starting to bloom, but the one near the fence is blooming. 🐰💗
Yumiko(California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌃 It is commonly known as "Belladonna Lily". However this flower is not a member of the Lily family, but a plant of the Amaryllis genus. 🪴🏵️ Amaryllis belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family, while lilies belong to the Liliaceae family, so these two varieties of the families differ in the way their leaves grow and the flowering period. 🤔🙆♀️😄 This "Belladonna Lily" flower has a very refreshing pink color, similar to the color of the cherry blossoms.🌸😊🤗 Oni-chan really liked this flower ! 🌸🌞✌️ Hai Yumi, Hoitara-next. 😴💤👋
@ハイジ Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. I am surprised that you showed me all kinds of food which I love and eat everyday(except pancakes 🥞)! You know me! What is your favorite food? You are young enough to eat steak 🥩, hamburgers, Korean barbecue(Yakiniku). I love them all . Nice day together! with smile 😊
@ころくん Good morning. Thank you for a message. Here in California, we have no rain till October. We had rain here…at the early April. That’s it. We have been ok. Only worry about Wild fire 🔥because it’s too dry. How are you? It’s still hot in Summer. Take care of yourself! with lots of water Have a good day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning!☀️ How are you? You are right. Amaryllidaceae Especially this Genus has only 1 species of deciduous. Interesting How are you? It’s hot~ yes, it’s now getting hotter. Stay home 🏡. Yesterday while I was trimming my roses 🌹…I have got scratches 🙄on my right arm. Good day! Take care of yourself. with smile 😊

@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌃 Yesterday I had thought your trouble was serious. 🤔😱 Yumi said, "I have got 'scratches' on my right arm." So Oni-chan was shocked after reading your this sentence. 😢😭 Becaure I interpreted 'scratch' as being crushed to pieces.🦴🦴✨ I remembered lovely Yumi had osteoporosis.🦴 But wait a minute, Yumi also said, "while I was trimming my roses". 🌹🌿✂️💦 It occurred to me that if it was a rose, the 'scratches' might have been caused by a thorn (toge).🤔🤗👌 That's a just light scratches (hikkake-kizu), isn't it ? 🤭🌞✌️ Hoitara-next !😴💤👋
@太陽の塔 Good morning 🌞! That’s right, (hikkake kizu)~ on my right arm. I swim with long sleeve swimsuit. 👍 I think my problem about Osteoporosis has been getting better. I can tell ~ today and before. I used to fall down easily,(koron 🙄). We will see. I have one ☝️ medicine a week. To make my bone 🦴 stronger. It’s an expensive medicine, I will take it forever. My Dr. told me I do not have to worry about my teeth 🦷. It’s 21th century. We will be depend on the medical treatment(medicine). I can have my medication. My insurance pays them. It’s 🇺🇸. How are you? Keep being healthy! Thank you to your wife! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ I'm glad to hear that.😄👌 Today August 15th is the war-end anniversary in Japan.🇯🇵 On August 15, 1945, Japan🇯🇵 announced the end of World War II and unconditionally surrendered.😌🌞 Hoitara-next.👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Yes, we will reborn in 2050's.🤭😄👌 Yesterday, August 15th, was Obon so Oni-chan went back to my father's house to visit my family's grave.🪦🙏📿😌 In many parts of Japan🇯🇵, Obon takes place around the 15th of August, over a period of several days. There are various regional customs associated with it.🤔😊 On the last day of ObonーAugust the 16th (today)ーfires are lit to send the spirits back to the world of the dead.🔥☠️ One of the grandest send-off displays is Kyoto's Gozan no Okuribi. 京都五山の送り火🔥🔥🔥(大 ,⛩️,法,⛵️,妙) Hoitara-next. 🌞✌️⛰️🌌
@デュランサ “Takarazuka”…”o-tori ran”…in those days. Ok…you are talking about the flowers! 👍 I remember this flower…it’s “Duranta Takazuka” Good day today and tomorrow! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. It’s ‘onion’ in Japan. I sent the flowers to my family graveyards. We are healthy seniors! Let’s go today and tomorrow together! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yumi !🌅 I don't understand the meaning of your message "It's 'onion' in Japan." 🧅🤔 Couldn't you please explain ? Hoitara-wait. 😪💤
@たかっち Good morning! I know…it’s getting hot here,too. It’s still 27°C now. In the afternoon, it will be 30°C~. We are ok. It’s hot in Japan, take care of yourself! Water ~ have a good showers ! Have a good day. with smile 😊
@デュランサ ‘uhuhu’😊 We will have a good day together. Get rid of hot! Stay home and have lots of water/that I do. Everyday is coming. We will have a great day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. …? I have no idea about onion story. 😅 Vegetable #1 🧅 onion, #2 Tomatoes 🍅, #3 Cabbage 🥬~. I love these vegetables. I am not a vegetarian, but it’s close. 😋I bought the nice sausages\deli. …I will have it soon. I have not eaten ham, sausage produce for a long time. …too much talking ~ Have a great day! See You~ 😊
Yumiko, a special national natural monument arrived on August 13th. A stork came near my house last year, and it's back again this year. A stork that arrived from Hyogo Prefecture gave birth to a baby in Fukui Prefecture in 2022, and that baby stork has now flown here. It had a metal piece attached to its leg, and we found out about it after contacting the relevant people in Hyogo Prefecture. It seems to have been valuable information. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your explanation. It was very hard work ! 💦😉😄👌 Oni-chan now understand what you meant by onion.🧅😋😊🥗👍 Because I was talking about Obon, I thought "b" became "ni" and turnd into Onion.🧅 The 2nd letter of the alphabet is "b". 2 is pronounced as "ni" in Japanese.🇯🇵✌️ One more thing, "cha" of oni-chan became "o" and turned into Oni-on. チャオ!🤭🇮🇹 In Japan🇯🇵, onions from Awaji Island are most delicious.☝️ This is because the natural environment including the soil and wind, is ideal for growing onions.🧅💧🌬️🙆♀️😋🌞✌️ Hoitara-next. to be continued.😴💤👋
@デュランサ How nice! I am happy to hear that. The ‘stork’ gives you luck 🍀 and happiness, I believe. In backyard of my house, there are some geese 🪿… I can hear. wild turkeys 🦃, squirrels 🐿️, …I saw fox 🦊 last week in the middle of the night. I turned on the porch light 💡 and recognized him. 😁(for the first time) Now…it’s becoming Autumn ~. Take care of yourself! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 It’s still complicated to understand about your onion-story. 😅 Anyway we love onions 🧅. Probably I use onion #1 for my daily food. Onion sliced/salad, Stir-fried onion/spaghetti, soup any kinds. My #1 vegetable is Onion. after, tomato, cabbage, radish(daikon), lettuce…lots. You have vegetables 🥗! Nice to talk to you. Good day together. 😊
Storks have been flying in from Obama City, Fukui Prefecture since August 13th, and they eat 500g of stork food every day. They are quite sturdy, with white bodies and black areas around their rump. There are geese, turkeys, and even a fox in Yumiko's backyard, so it's quite lively. Yes, storks bring happiness ☺️✨ This is how I can have a conversation with Yumiko 😘💞
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your onion-message.🧅😋👌 My blood type is A, so I like complicated things, but Yumi's blood type is O, so you don't like complex thing.🤔😄 I envy people with blood type O, because people with blood type O are generally easy going.🩸🧐🙆♀️🤗🤭 Anyway we love onions. 🧅 The ones from Awaji Island are especially good !🌞✌️ Hoitara-next ! 😴💤🌌👋
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 Yes. My blood type is ‘O’, and your is ‘A’. I like that. ~ nice communication all the time. Take care of each other ~ how long ~ ? Let’s have a nice day together. Not to work so hard ~ 🙂 see you! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Oh, Oni-chan get it !😄🤗👌 Blood A-type and O-type individuals seek what the other lacks, so the two of Yumi get along very well ! 👍🤭 Oni-chan look forward to Yumi's continued support❗️🙇🌞✌️ Hoitara-next. 🛏️😴👌
@デュランサ Storks! They come from Africa,Asia… Lovely birds. They bring goodness to you. We love nature and take a walk to see~them.(we walk and see nature and become familiar with it) Have a nice day! with smile 😊
I sometimes go out in search of nature, but when I see storks up close, I never get bored and can stare at them for a while. They seem to have a daily routine, so I wonder if they'll be staying here for a while longer. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Well~ you are happy to see them. Lucky! We can see here…squirrels 🐿️all the time. They are jumping, hopping in and around trees. lovely nature I have been talking to you so many times. Still I do not know where you live and what your real name. I am not sure about your posted name ‘Dulansa’=not ‘Dulanta”
Anyway this is the 21 century, we have been in. Have a great day day! with smile 😊
Yes, please allow me to keep my name a secret 🙏🏻I live in Aichi Prefecture, an area rich in nature. There are rice fields with blooming lotus flowers nearby my house, and it's a very peaceful place. I like "Dulansa", so please continue to use Duransa 🙏🏻 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Yesterday, at the "Shine Hat" pavillion, at the EXPO 2025, I watched a competition of high school students writing characters with large brushes.(書道パフォーマンス 甲子園)😄🤗🎭 A caligrapher of student slides his ink brush across a white sheet of paper. With these fluid brush strokes, various characters are formed ー some bold, others gentle.🌞 Hoitara-ne.😴💤🧖🌃✌️

@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your message ! Okinawa Shogaku⚾️ won the national high school baseball championship.🏆🙌🎊 Okinawa Shogaku⚾️ achived its first victory in the summer Koshien.

That's right 🤭 The bell crickets 🦗 chirp at night too. But when you're sleeping, you might not notice them too much 🦆. Right now, it's 5pm here and the sun is still shining brightly, but I still have to water the flowers. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your lovely message ! 😊👌 "Hoitara-ne" is the Tosa dialect of Kochi Prefecture, and that's another way of saying "Sore-jya-ne" or "Jya-ne" .👋😄 This phrase "Hoitara-ne" is used in the narration of the morning dorama 'Anpan(あんぱん)'. As a result, it has attracted attention all over Japan.🇯🇵🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne ! 🤭😴💤🌃✨
@デュランサ How nice! You enjoy in your garden, the same as me. I know…autumn crickets + we will hear the frogs 🐸 sounds in the pond at the closed golf course. 😟off course I can’t sleep. You are fine. I am 👍 Good day together! 😊
@太陽の塔 “Anpan” is the drama on NHK. You in Japan 🇯🇵 enjoy it. We are together. with smile 😊 Hoitara-ne! Jya~ne! 🤞 * its hot. take care of yourself. water always ~.
It's cloudy again this morning, and the sky is gloomy. As expected, I can hear the chirping of bell crickets, sparrows, and cicadas. I'm tired at night and sleep soundly. I wonder if Yumiko has trouble sleeping because of the chirping around her. I wonder what I should do today❓️🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your watera message ! 😄👌 Watera will do our best even if it is hot. 🥵✌️ 🎶 Wate Honmani You-iwanwa ! 🎶 🎶 Kyou wa Asakara Wate no Oie wa 〜 Tai-ni Hirame-ni Katsuo-ni Maguro-ni Buri-nl-Saba ! 🎶 This is the drama's song on NHK, too.👦

I regularly visit the ophthalmologist once every few months👀 to get eye drops. Next month I'll have an endoscopic examination of my stomach. I also have ultrasounds and CT scans of the abdominal area. This is an annual examination. Last month I had a throat and thyroid examination at the internal medicine department. There are a variety of tests that come up😅💦
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your Japanese Tokyo-ben with Kanji and Hiragana. Water Honmani You Iwanwa !🤭😄 Yumi seem to be knowledgeable about Japanese dialects.🤗👌 Yumi are fluent in Edo dialect (Tokyo-ben), Tosa dialect, and Osaka dialect.(Ookini)🙇👌 In particular, Edo dialect (Tokyo-ben) is close to standard Japanese, but it is a dialect.(Berabou !)🗻🏯🌁 Yumi grew up in Komagome where in the former Somei village, the Somei Yoshino cherry🌸 tree was cultivated during the Edo-period, didn't youmi ? 🤭😊 Yumi are a true Edokko.生粋の江戸っ子👘 Please teach Oni-chan Edo dialect(Tokyo-ben). 江戸弁を教えておくんなまし。🙇 Hoitara-ne,Jyaane.😴💤✨
@デュランサ Ok~ you will have some examinations. You feel ok, I mean, you are healthy but you wants to check about yours, right! I did, too . CT scans for my stomach. I did ultrasounds for another’s. I checked Osteoporosis. Go for~ 👌 I take one pill(expensive)a week, for 7 years.It’s from My Dr. Doctor. He told me, “ no worries about your bones and teeth”. Pay for our health! I think you have going the same way. Nice day together! 😊
Yes, I think it's the same thing. I had a CT scan of my stomach, an ultrasound to check for kidney stones, and an endoscopy to find a stomach polyp, which is benign at the moment, but I'm going to have a blood test before making an appointment. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Tokyo-ben is a sharp sound comparing with Osaka-ben. lovely Osaka-ben … not use ‘turbid sound.’(Dakuon) Hoitarane > soreja~ne Ahoka>bakaka, Akan > dame Soft sound Kansai dialect ! lovely Let’s have a good day. 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for telling oni-chan the difference between Tokyo dialect and Osaka dialect.🗻🗼🚄🏯🤭😄 Yumi have a keen observation about the difference between having and not having 'turbid sound'.🤔🤗👌 Kansai dialect sound soft but the content is pretty brutal. (egetsunai)🤭 Water honmani you iwanwa !🙊👄Okuchi-kinchaku.🤫 Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌃✨🎠✨
@デュランサ No worries about a stomach polyp. Today, it’s very easy to fix it. Main thing is ‘early detection’. 👌 Right! Blood test is very important to us. Your Dr. Will tell you what is ~ good and not good. I go to see my Doctor every 6 month. Good day together. 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. It’s interesting to think of dialect. ‘egetsunai’>Nasty * we call the person “you are nasty” Basically this word means “kawaisou”. We seldom use this word on the public. in U.S.A. You gave a good question. I happy to talk to you. lovely Have a great day! with our smiles 😊😊
I have a checkup scheduled for next month. Yes, I'm fine for now. Early detection is important, and it's also important to avoid overdoing things, overeating, and stress on a daily basis. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Oni-chan appreciate being able to tap into intelligence of Yumi-chan.👩🥰👌 Yumi seem to have a good knowledge of Japanese words and dialects. 🤔🇯🇵🤗✌️ Do Yumi know Murasaki Shikibu who wrote a masterpiece of classical Japanese literature, "The Tale of Genji". 💜✨🌕🌾 She quietly observed people around her and out of that experience like Yumi, wrote a masterpiece of Japanese literature. 🖌️🌞 Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌃✨🎠✨
@デュランサ That’s good. Main thing is…you know how you control your situation and your body. Ok…no worries ~ just go for the test/exam. In case. Our life is such a kind~ You can talk to me anytime. I will be with you. 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning 🌞! Right, we have lots of dialects in Japan. I have Tokyo-Ben. You have Osaka-Ben. It’s interesting ☺️ ‘Genji-monogatari’ We had to study of this story for one year, when I was high school(1974~)😕 * in those days, my impression of this story is…”Japanese men love women”. (Hidden love)! You have read all of this story?! Yes. I did. Hoitara-ne. ‘Sorejya~ne’ Have a nice day day! 😊😊
@太陽の塔 I saw your photo now. ‘Yumetaro’ came from yours. 🤗 8.29(yakiniku)…😋(tabetai~). karubi. gyu-tan. beef. Kimchee. Namulu. Oi-kimuchi. Tegutan soup. … In the future, I will have these. 😊
That's right. I have a health check every year, and I get my stomach checked at a different medical facility. If there's nothing wrong with me, I feel at ease. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your message ! So it was as Oni-chan thought. Yumi seem to know a lot about The Tale of Genji. 👨✨👌 As Yumi say, in the Tale of Genji Japanese men love women. (Hidden love)🥰🤫 Murasaki Shikibu said: Storytelling begins with the urgent need to give expression to all things humman, good and bad, that you long to hand down to posterity. 🤗🙌🖌️💜 By the way, last night I went to a restaurant at Hilton Plaza East (next to the your favorite Hilton Hotel) for drink of the druft beer with two my friends.🍺🐟🥢 Oni-chan like karubi(갈비), gyu-tang(牛舌), too. What is the Tegutan soup(大口湯)? It looks kind of painful.😖🌶️🥵 Hoitara-ne. 😋🤭🌞✌️
@デュランサ It sounds good. With our age, we need to check…Brest cancer test. I had it last year, the first time for 7 years ~(my Dr. pushed me to have a test and I did). Negative 👍 Test~ test~ and test. I will have an appointment for Osteoporosis. My number(from the blood test) was weak last year. We will take care of ourselves with our age. Let’s have a good day! 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 Yes.I studied “Genji~”a lot when I was at high school. * he was the #1 play boy in history of Japan(I think). That’s the beginning of the man’s playing with the woman. “Good job! Genji”🇯🇵 ‘Hilton Plaza’…I do not know it /maybe I saw but I did not know what it is. Anyway, you had a good time! 👍 Enjoyable life. I am happy to talk to you because I can know you are happy. (hada ni tsutawatte kimasu). I am 👍. Every day is coming. Let’s go for it! We are together. 😊
That's right. Last month, I had a health checkup, and then I got a letter about a specific health checkup. It's necessary for early detection of illness, isn't it? I'm glad nothing happened. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko-sensei for your explanation of the Tale of Genji. 😄🤗👩🎓💜👌 By the way, oni-chan will replace my smartphon📱with a higher-end model tommorrow. 😊 My smartphone will have twice the memory it currently has.✌️🤗 If I fail to migrate the GS app to new phon, I'll be out of touch for a while.😢😭 Thank Yumi in advance.🙇 Best regards ! 🌞✌️
@デュランサ Right! The doctor’s office doesn’t call you unless you have some trouble. Take it easy! No worries. It’s very important to have our health check to survive longer, I guess. You know the ancient story…” when we were born, we were in our life and when we go to the heaven”. I still trust this sentence. 😊 Life is Good! LG Keep being healthy, let’s go together!
@太陽の塔 Good! I understand that. Take your time and get used to use your new one. G.S friends are waiting for your photos and comments. 🤗 Gave a great day! Keep being healthy. with our smiles 😊😊
Yes. If you are healthy, you can experience many fun things. "When we are born, we are in this world, and when we go to heaven, we will be in heaven." I see. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Hey, Yumi know wkat ? The transfer to the new iPhone faild. 🙅♀️😢 Each APP transition step was flawless. The antenna bares 📶 didn't appear after inserting the SIM card of current smartphone to the new iPhone. 📱🤔 Oni-chan am currently thinking about what to do next. 😊🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne. 👋
@デュランサ 🤞that’s right! 😀 You hope you want alive as long as you can? Me? I will be ok~ with certain age… 78~83 years old(if nothing happens to me), it’s enough to me. …not so many years from now. We will have an enjoyable life ~ I would like to go for~. 😊
@太陽の塔 …for real… you know, in 🇺🇸, I bought the new telephone(I phone 16 Max)$1,300/tax. we can ask the worker to set up. All connections are fine. 👍 You have an inconvenience. Go ~ and solve it. Positive life. with smile
I watch your photos. Nice ones. How many days, they open? Enjoyable Thank you! 💕
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi-chang for your message of the iPhone 16📱. 😄👌 It costs 160,000yen to buy an iPhone 16 in Japan🇯🇵. 🤔 Somehow oni-chang figured out why the new iPhone📱 wasn't working. 🤗 Oh, oni-chang have to get up early tomorrow to go to the Osaka Kansai Expo. So I'm going to the comfortable tatami bed early today ! 😴💤🌃🌌 Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋
@太陽の塔 Good morning ☀️! That’s right. It’s expensive to pay for the iPhone. I do every 3 years. How is your day? It’s good! We will have a good day today and tomorrow together. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumichang for your message of smartphone.📱😄👌 Yesterday, Onichang took photos of various flowers, starting with an orange bird-of-paradise at the Expo.🧡🌿 My old smartphone worked great. Let's take care of the elderly ! 🤭🤗🌞✌️ Hoitaraneng. 🍚👋👋👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Early mornings: I've been feeling refreshed lately, and I wake up on my own 👀. It's even earlier than my phone's 📱 alarm. If I'm healthy, I can even have a conversation like this on GS. 🐰💗
It's been raining heavily for the first time in a while today. Perhaps due to the influence of Typhoon 🌀 No. 15, a linear rain band has formed, resulting in a ☔ rainy typhoon. The forecast for our area was 250mm. I wonder if it will pass by in the afternoon🙆🏻
Yes. The typhoon passed by the afternoon of September 5th. After that, the rain stopped, it got brighter, and a gentle breeze blew. The early morning of September 6th was cooler and more comfortable than the past few days. But it was still hot during the day. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Nice! Go for~ not to stay at home all day?! right? I have never ~ Anyway going out~ even, it’s windy, rainy…we can see a cute flower. Let’s go! with smile 😊
@デュランサ That’s right. The season will be changing, it will be raining ☔️. We have been waiting for the rain. (We had no rain for ~4 months) Take care of yourself. 😊
@デュランサ Oh~ yeah?! You do not feel well on the rainy day? Me! I am happy for the rain ☔️. My garden, all roses are waiting for the rain for a long time. Now~ it will come soon. We are living in the nature. Nice day together. 😊
@デュランサ That’s right. When I leave home to the club(swimming), it’s now dark. Day time is getting shorter and colder~ in the month. Take care of yourself. We are together on GS. with smile 😊
The temperature is comfortable in the mornings and evenings, but heatstroke warnings are still being issued during the day. Rain was forecast for the afternoon, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain. 🐰💗
It's about to rain ☔️ and the weather will cool down. 🤭 Outside, I can hear the birds chirping. It's rice harvest season here, and rice harvesting is happening nearby 🌾. Maybe that's why I'm hearing the sparrows chirping. They're gathering in large numbers. 🐰💗
@デュランサ You have a nice life at your place. I go back to Tokyo to live/stay at my houses, it’s very quiet. No birds , no frogs. Because it the center of Tokyo. No green trees 🌲 ~ . Our life. Which is good?! 😊
I see. Tokyo is lined with skyscrapers, and there are very few places with greenery. Where I live here, there are many fields and rice paddies, and there is a lot of nature. I've lived in such peaceful places until now, so maybe I couldn't live in the city. 🐰💗
@デュランサ I understand that. You can’t. I will have to~ I will not think about that today. Time is coming ~ and I will think~ Life is such a kind to us. Nice life with your husband and your kids. Family is the best. ☝️ Nice day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) In places rich in nature, even the most trivial things can be soothing. When I gaze out the window, I see wild birds such as egrets, blue herons, and spot-billed ducks coming to the rice fields to feed and rest. Such a sight is also quite beautiful🦆
@デュランサ I understand that. That’s right. However I was born in the central Tokyo. I will have to keep my houses. Well~ I love Hokodate, as you know. I will be able to talk to about Hakodate later. 😊
@デュランサ Yes. I love 💕 Hakodate. Have you been there? I also Okinawa. It’s the great place to have Japanese tropical feeling. I used to been lots of places, mainly I played ⛳️ golf~ all of Japan. Life is…still enjoyable. Good day together! 😊
Yes ♡ There are still many places in Hokkaido that I haven't visited, such as Hakodate, Furano, Biei, Lake Akan, Otaru, etc. My neighbor has been in Hokkaido since yesterday, and I'd like to go again. I haven't been to Okinawa yet, so I'd like to go there. I wonder if golf isn't just a hobby, but a professional?❓️I've traveled all over the place, so I guess I'm a sportswoman🤭 🐰💗
