@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Hello☺️✨ When I respond to comments on GS by putting myself in their shoes, sometimes they suddenly change their attitude😣💦It's kind of difficult😰Maybe it's better not to get too involved. 🐰💦
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your kind message !👌 That's right. We are not botanists. The purpose of GS is for us to enjoy looking at the flowers that are posted. 🤔😍 Knowing the correct mame of a plant is good, but it's not the goal of GS.🧐😉😄 I'm sure Yuming and Oni-chang think the same way. 👫🤝🤗✌️ We hope we will go to Expo in Yokohama ! 🚢🌸🌞🙆♀️ Hoitara-next in the blue lights Yokohama!💙🌃👫🥰
@ロミオ Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. In 1988~1992 I used to play at my membership golf club at Takasaki.

Good evening ☺️✨ That's true. I thought it would be good for that person, so I put myself in their shoes and told them how I felt, but their response seemed off, so I decided not to get involved. Maybe my feelings were different because of my age. I've decided to start afresh. 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ It may be good to have a broad but shallow relationship with people, but if you're not careful with your personality, you can end up getting too involved. Unfortunately, this time, I'm going to keep my distance for a while, although I'd be happy if the person in question noticed. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your kind message. Yes, let's sing the songs and enjoy looking at the flowers that are posted ! Hoitara-next. 🌞✌️

@太陽の塔 Thank you oni~ chan/san. Now, today~ you probably make a plan ~ to go ~ can I tell you? ‘Stay home for a while’. Talk to your wife. Anyway you have done the great 👍 one of KANSAI EXPO 👏 Keep being healthy! Cheers 🍻 😊
Good evening 🌠 Yeah, recently someone came to me for advice and I gave them my own advice, but somehow we didn't communicate very well 💦 I think I was able to get across what I wanted to say. I guess it's up to the person to make the decision. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA ✨ Thank Yuming for your kind message ! 'Stay home for a while.' is important for our health.😄👌💦 It's now the Major League Baseball postseason in USA🇺🇸🏟️🤗, and In Japan🇯🇵 the Japan Series is coming up soon.😆✌️💦

I hope 🤞 you have a good day! with our smiles 😊😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Depending on how you look at it, it can evoke a variety of emotions. If you think I'm being too nosy, I'll stop here. However, since you've been talking about yourself and speaking ill of others, I feel like you should feel free to do as you please.🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your SUMO message ! 😆👌 The next sumo tournament in Fukuoka will be held in November, but a grand sumo tournament is being held in London at the Royal Albert Hall. (10/16〜10/19). 🏤👸🇬🇧😄 Since its opening in 1871 by Queen Victoria, this Royal Albert Hall has been the world’s most famous theater for 150 years. 😳🙌 4 sumo wrestlers were crossing the zebra crossing🦓 at Abey Road, the Beatles' sacred site . 阿炎(Abi)🔥ぃロードです。🤭😆 I'm a big fan of Ura(宇良), and his sumo techniques are very popular even in London. 🌞✌️💦

Good morning. ☺️✨ Something very exciting happened yesterday. This cyclamen was a prize🎯 that GS Flower Friends won in a giveaway🎁 last year. It's a flower with a beautiful color, and it debuted this year and won the Grand Prize at the Flower Trial Grand Prize 2024. The flower was available for order in limited quantities, and I managed to get it in time for the last one. And it arrived at my house yesterday. 🐰💗
@pechako Good morning! It’s getting cold. You are living Kyoto. lovely place. When I was young~(1980’s) I loved to visit to ‘Gion Matsuri’ every year. Time passes so fast. Let’s have a nice day. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Good morning. ☺️✨ It's raining now ☔, but yesterday was sunny and the flowers are blooming vibrantly. Yes, the last limited number arrived, so I immediately started thinking about where to put them and now I have a Cyclamen 💜 Dragon Deep Blue in my bay window. Thank you for looking. 🐰💗

@pechako Good morning! Thank you for a message. I was born in Tokyo. I was living in Tokyo till 1988. My mother(92 years old)has still living in two houses in Tokyo. I can go back to Tokyo anytime to live. ~~ 😊
In April. I visited your place every year when I was young(1980’s). In those days, “Wabisuke” Gion Shirakawa… I remember… Kappou place . One counter with 10~seats at the counter. Mamasan/owner has cooks great food. She puts each food she cooked in the big bowl and put them on the counter. She said “what do you like?!” Every food was great. ‘Kyoto ryori’. Wanisuke no mama. I don’t forget!
Sorry…I became older. I would like to keep the nice memories when I was young.
Yes. Someday ~ when I back to Kyoto & Osaka. I will let you know. 😊 Life ~ is such a kind. Have a nice day! with smile
Good morning. ☺️✨ A refreshing morning has arrived. It may be colder than usual. Today I'm going to the hot springs ♨️ at Nagashima Spa Land Yuwaminoshima to soothe my tired muscles, and afterwards there will be a song show 🎤 inside the building. I wonder if there will be an enka singer. I don't know who it will be yet. 🤭
@デュランサ Good morning. 🌞 How nice…Hot springs!…I used to skiing and had hot springs there. Akakura, Nozawa, Kusatsu, Naeba, Zao, Iizaka…in 1970s~1980s. Karaoke 🎤 how nice! You sing 🎶 a song? It’s very popular today. I will tell the story about ‘karaoke’ where and when it has started. If you are interested in. I was there in those days. You like ENKA. Me, too! 💕 Nice day together. 😊
@pechako Good morning! 🌞 My mother is 93 years old. She has been keeping her 2 houses in Tokyo. She is fine. Anytime I will go back to Japan. Still not yet~. That’s right! She was a (pochari) lady wearing kimono. She is 20 years elder to me at that time. … I had a nice time in Kyoto “Wabisuske”. No forget 💕 We will have a good day!
Good morning 😊✨ Yesterday was Nishizaki Midori's song show 🎤. Apparently she debuted at the age of 3, and it's her 60th anniversary now. When she was 14, she met Hirao Masaaki, and her song "Tabishuu," the theme song for the "Kurama Shitome" series, became an unprecedented hit. It seems to have sold over a million copies. She also sang a medley of popular 70s songs. She had a great singing voice. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! 🌞 ‘Nishizaki Midori” san … ‘Ryosyhu’…I still remember that song. After my skiing, I went to the bar and listened to this 🎶 (hatsukoi jidai) 😊 Nice day today!
Good morning. That's right 🤭 She has now changed her name to "Nishizaki Midori" and has written her name in kanji. She has outstanding singing ability and looks gorgeous in a kimono. She was a lovely and beautiful person. I see you know "Tabishuu" ♬♪. It brought back memories. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! We still can enjoy the music 🎶. Nishizaki Midori san “Ryoshyu”/1974, I was in High School and had my first love 💕 with this song. You are…maybe in an elementary ~ junior high school at that time, aren’t you? lovely Let’s have a good day! with smile 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ Yesterday, my husband 🚙 drove me to Rosa & Berry Tawada in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture, to see the Chestnut Butterfly 🦋, which is said to be visiting the autumn roses 🌹 and Japanese Eupatorium fujibakama. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! 🌞 I know…you had a nice trip with your husband. great I saw your photos ~. Enjoyable Life is Good-LG! Let’s go for a nice day. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Good morning. ☺️✨ It's been raining since last night. On October 24th, my husband and I visited Rosa & Berry Tawada in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture, which was awarded the Garden Excellence Award in 2025. We went inside the garden and found it to be well-maintained. We were also happy to see the long-awaited chestnut tiger butterfly 🦋, which had come to suck nectar from the Fujibakama flowers. 🐰💗
Hello ☺️✨ Yes ♡ I was so excited that I walked here and there, seeing all sorts of lovely perennials and autumn roses 🌹 In the petting corner, there was also a place where you could feed the sheep, so I did. They were grazing in a natural area, and there were some sheep with black faces and feet and cream-colored bodies, just like Shaun the Sheep. 🐰💗
Good morning ☺️✨ It was quite chilly this morning. It's deep autumn, and the autumn leaves🍁 won't be as vibrant unless it's very cold. However, there's been some commotion in tourist areas about '🐻 sightings⚠,' so I'm hesitant to go out. 😰
@デュランサ Good morning. 🌞 I know…it’s becoming colder here in California. 11°C at 6:00am here. 🐻 comes to see us? … I know… what you will do? Take care of yourself. 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ 🐻 Bears need to eat a lot before they go into hibernation in winter, but they are running out of food, so they are gradually coming down from the mountains and coming to places where people live, attacking people and eating persimmons from fruit trees. 🐻 Bears are appearing all over Japan 😰. I'm refraining from going to tourist spots in Kyoto. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! for real. Surprised…I have seen about ‘the 🐻 accidents’ in the internet. In the world. We have it in Japan,too. “ ring the 🛎️ bell” they do not like bell sound, I heard. If it’s true or not. Nice to talk to you. Good day together. 😊
Good evening (*˘︶˘*).。*♡🌠 Sorry for the late reply 🙏🏻Yes, in Aichi Prefecture, there have been reports of bears being spotted in Shinshiro City, and in Kyoto, there have also been reports of bears being spotted in the tourist area around Arashiyama. There have also been various bear incidents in other prefectures 😰. 🔔You'll need to carry a bell with you. 🐰💦
@デュランサ Good morning! Thank you for a message. ‘bear story’. I can see and hear a lot today. It’s nature. Not flowers but animals! Let’s have a good day! 😊
Good morning. 🎃 Today is Halloween. Are there any events going on? Yesterday, I went to Hanabana no Sato in Mie Prefecture to see the dahlias again. It seems they bloomed too early the last time I went. There were many different kinds in bloom, and it was the best time to see them. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Yes. I recognized that, because I went to my club, she and he~ they are wearing their Halloween 🎃 costumes. 👏enjoyable …in Japan 🇯🇵 it’s very popular “Halloween”. I am surprised ~ happily. Nice day together! with smile 😊
@デュランサ Good morning! Yes. It’s 🇺🇸. Their costumes were great! 👏 I saw lots of Halloween 🎃 decorations. It’s very popular in Japan. I am impressed. Time passes so fast. It will be the end of the year~ we keep being healthy and have a good day! 😊
Good morning.😊✨ Yesterday, I went to support the Dodgers 📣, and although I usually do a week's worth of shopping, I watched the game on TV instead. I did my best 🤗🩷🤍It seems like today is the final battle. The Halloween 🎃 event is over, too. With the end of the year approaching, I spent the day cleaning up the house and tending to the flowers in the garden, and the day flew by in a flash. Health is the most important thing. Thank you. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! Thank you for a message. OMG! Los Angeles Dodgers has the great Japanese players. I am very proud of them. 👏 Good day together! 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yesterday, the Los Angeles Dodgers 🎊👏🏻💐 played a fantastic game. They went all the way to extra innings. Ohtani, Yamamoto, Sasaki, and other Japanese players were outstanding. After I finished my errands, I watched the recording at home. 🐰💗
