Yumiko(California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yumi ! 🌅🌃🤗👌 Canna flowers come in a variety of colors, these colors are referred to as "red", "yellow", and "orange", respectively.♥️💛🧡😄👌 The yellow Canna Yumi photographed is refreshing and reminds me of lemon-flavored shaved ice.💛😋🍧🍋 The other day, Oni-chan posted the photos of the orange colored Canna under a blue sky to GS.📸💙🧡🌿 Blue💙 and orange🧡 are complementary colors. So they make flowers stand out.🤗🌞✌️ By the way, the complementary color of yellow is blue-purple.💛↔️💙💜 Hoitara-next.😴💤👋

@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. You are very active. That keeps you busy + younger. trust me! You know…if we do not have anything at to do after we wake up in the morning ~😕nothing to do~ We need to do make a plan to do something ~ I think you are great with this point. “Make a plans and go”! 👍 I still swim for 1.5 km every morning. And walk~. Right now I am happy talking, after this, I go to my garden and take care of my rose garden. Trimming, cleaning 🧹 ~ take shower and happy time~ I will have a bottle of Heineken beer. 4:30pm we call this time is ‘for thirsty/4:30’. Have you got it? 😋 Nice to talk to you. It’s still hot in 🇯🇵. Take care of yourself. Always water, take all the time. It’s also good for our digestion. See you! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for the complement ! 🙇🤗👌 The other day, I pulled weeds around the house before going to see a pray of "Peter Pan" that started in the evening.🌿 It's a midday work, so It's very hot. 🥵💦☀️ And the neighbors look at me strangely.🤭😄 Oh ! I'm going to the Kansai Expo early tomorrow morning because there is a Polish ckorus.🇵🇱 So I have to go to futon(tatami) and early today.
@ゆうさん Good morning! Thank you for a message. You were busy with your family. How nice~ to be with family!👍 Let’s have a good day together! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you a message. I have a boy to come to my garden to clean up weeds ~ . I used to do by myself, but ~ no more 😣/age You are going to EXPO ~. Take care of yourself with water with cold thing in your cold box? I wish I with you! 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ Canna generalis 💛 The petals are sparkling ✨ and they're blooming beautifully. 😘💞 A friend gave me some in my garden, and I think they were bulbs in March. I planted them, and they're blooming every day. I pick the flowers when they start to fade, and then new petals bloom again. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for the sound advice ! 💧😄🤗 We listened to the chorus of the Romanian🇷🇴 National Chamber Choir Madrigal at Shine Hut🎩 at the Kansai Expo last nigh.🌃♥️💙👀 Their singing voice was so beautiful and clear that it cleansed my soul.❤️💗 The audience erupted in applause, especially when they sang part "I Found a Tiny Autumn(小さい秋見つけた)" in Japanese. 🍂👏👏👏🎶 However, autumn in Japan is still hot🥵 this year.💁♀️😢 Hoitara-next. 🏄🌊🌴🌞
@太陽の塔 How nice! You listen to the music 🎶 in the world. Me,too. + ENKA 🇯🇵 Itsuki Hiroshi-san. I am now listening to his songs. “Oshidori. Benibana. Kiteki” ~. I hope you will go for the Kansai Expo nicely! Enjoyable Have a great day! with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning ☀️! Yes, she showed me nicely in the morning. There was the red lady blooming. I picked up this yellow one. I see your photos. Nice ones. 👍 Let’s go for a good day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your kindly message !😊😄 I'm going to the Kansai Expo eary tomorrow morning.🌅 So I have to go to tatami bed early today !😴💤🌃✨
@太陽の塔 …”tatami-bed”means…put Futon-set on the Tatami, right?! It’s traditional Japanese style. Nothing is bad. But~when you eventually getting old, it will be very difficult to stand up with your knee and legs. ☝️I suggest to you to have a 🛏️ bed. It’s easier for you to get up and go. ‘ trust me’ When I was in Waikiki in Hawaii period, I made my sleeping place on the floor for(with my culture feeling)/big mistake. one year~, and I had knee and back bone problems. You will know ~ anyway do not sleep on the floor(with our age). It’s 2021 If you sleep in the bed, it’s very easy to stand up to go. I hope this message will work for you. You will go to the Expo. You are the #1 to show the photos. I thank to your. It’s still hot. Take care of yourself! good day together, with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ I appreciate Yumi's valuable advice of bed.🛏️😊😄 Yes,"Tatami bed" means put Futon-set on the Tatami, as Yumi saied.👩👌 I know that bed is good for the elderly, because my father, who turned 94 last week, uses a bed. 🛏️👴🙆♀️ I understand that bed is suitable for people with mobility issues, but I don't think Oni-chan need bed yet.🛏️🌞🙅♀️ Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌌✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. When I was walking, I saw this lady. I was with her for several minutes to take her photos. Take a time to be with the cute ladies and I feel nice! ☀️ It’s still hot and take care of ourselves! Good day together. 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning 🌞 (atama ga katai) 😐 (Shikatanashi) One more time, prepare your single bed to be. It’ll be helpful a lot for you. (you do not trust 🙄) How is your day? What is your plan today and tomorrow? You are so active. Me🙃fine! Have a nice day together! 😊😊
This is a canna 💛 that I came across while on a walk. It's blooming in the flower bed in my garden, and after I picked the flowers, they bloomed again in beautiful colors. I love this flower because I can enjoy it for days. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice! You walk and you have a fresh feeling everyday! Me,too. I still swim 1.5 kilometers everyday. And walk for ~45 minutes. One day I can’t see any particular flowers which I like, and go home. ☹️(Shikatanashi) Everyday is coming! Have a good day. with smile 😊
I guess I misunderstood 🤏🏻🤭💦 but yellow cannas have grown in my garden. When the flowers start to fade, I pick them. Then, new, beautiful flowers start to bloom. It makes me happy to see them. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌃 Thank Yumi for your healthy opinion. Oni-chan got it.😄👌 In Japan, people always take off their shoes when entering a house.👞👠🙅♀️😊 Feeling the soft but firm texture of tatami evokes the sensation of walking barefoot🦶on the grass🌿. Oni-chan have a soft mind, too. 🤭😄 Originally a symbol of power and prestige, tatami gradually became part of people's daily lives.🙆♂️✌️ Oni-chan don't like single bed, but I do like W bed. 🤭🌞👫👌 Hoitara-new. 😴💤✨✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Yes, we do misunderstanding. It’s ok. As told you, you use translators, and I use the broken English. It may happens. So~? Still we can communicate each other. Positive! We have been a nice time together on GS. If you want to talk to me, I will be with you. with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 😆you are hard headed. (atama ga katai). It’s up to you. But you had listened to my suggestions. 🤞 How are you? I will walk tomorrow ~ I will have to see a nice lady~! You know… I can’t see a my flowers(to post)every day. I will look 👀 for~. It’s still hot. …we have now 35°C. I am home and I do not feel anything. (24°C)always at home Have a good day! with smile 😊
I'm glad you understood ☺️. If the interpretation is different, it can lead to a different understanding, but I hope you can get the general idea across 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your innovative idea！ 🤗🙆♀️ But Oni-chan think my head is soft and it depend on me.🤔 Tatami play a vital role in complementing the natural feel of traditional Japanese houses. Tatami were originally only used as cushions or mattresses.🏡😊😄👌 In Japan🇯🇵, the number of Japanese-style rooms(和室) has decreased recently, while the number of Western-style rooms(洋室) has increased, but I find Japanese-style rooms(和室) with alcoves(床の間) comfortable and sleep there.🤗😄😴👌 It's a hassle to take futons in and out of the closet every day, but it is hygienic.🌞✌️ Hoitara-nerune.😴💤🌃✨
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. As I told you before, you can talk to yo me in Japanese. Still you read my broken English. Better communication Think about that. I would like to hear in Japanese. How you talk~ 😊 Good day everyday.
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 How are you? …ok, anyway you like to sleep on the Tatami. I don’t say anything about that. However, when we get elder, staying in the bed makes you more comfortable. No knee issues. That’s my point. Well~ you are still young man! 👍 I told you, I was started sleeping on the floor(carpe)/2023~for approximately 1 year~ I got my knee problem. And I went back to my bed to sleep. Knee problems have gone. How is your day? It’s still hot? Now~ it’s hot here. It’s 31°C now. (I am home and I do not feel hot) Take care of yourself, yea. Good day together! with smile 😊
