Hello ☺️✨ Sweet pea bushes are such a lovely flower. Yesterday, I found a perfectly round seed in my "mixed seeds" and I thought it was a sweet pea. I wonder if it will bloom in the spring 🤭 Thank you for showing me these lovely flowers. 😉💕Right now, we've just come out of "Nagashima Onsen Spa Land Yuwaminoshima no Onsen ♨️" with the ladies at "Kurobe Gorge no Onsen" and the men at "Oirase Keiryu no Onsen" 😘✨ Our bodies are warm and cozy 🤗🩷🤍 We'll have lunch in the banquet hall, and then a song show will be held. 🐰💗
@ユミ Good morning! Yes, it is. Is this rare at your place/Japan? Here, we can see these ladies all the time in this the season. Let’s have a nice day together! with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. Good! We love hot springs in Japan. Nice to talk to you today. It’s getting colder. Take care of yourself. I will be with you. with smile 😊
@ゆうさん Good morning! 🌞 Thank you for a message. That’s right! Me, too~ I put electric blanket(denki moufu) in my bed. It’s cold in the morning at 4:30am(I wake up and ~ go). Take care of yourself. We are together on GS. Let’s enjoy together! with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice! You still you work~ for some. Good. Till you get to tired to have a job, you can work, keep being sort of healthy(except stress). 💪 Let’s have a good day together! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Ok! I understand that. You are already retired, I thought so. Good. To be together with your husband. It’s the best 👍. We will have a good day~ 😊
Yes, I quit my job and now I'm at home tending to our vegetable garden, doing housework, going out to places I want to go, and my husband takes my mother to the doctor. We also take my husband to his monthly doctor appointments. Every day is hectic, but sometimes I take it easy. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ 😊lovely! It’s the life. I do the same as you do. Dr. Appointment! It’s coming every 6 month. Sometimes when I was such, I went to see my Dr. every month(in 2022~2023). I checked every thing, which my Dr. suggested to go for the TEST. Fortunately everything is ok(so far) We need to check our body once for a while. It’s getting colder. Keep yourself being warm. Have a nice day ! with smile 😊
Yes, in order to enjoy every day, it's necessary to have a health check every year. Thanks to this, I don't need to take any medicine for treatment at the moment, so to keep that going, it's essential to exercise every day. I can walk a lot when I go out though. 😁
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ That’s right. Once you go out ~ even our shopping ~ we walk a lot. We couldn’t feel it.(especially shopping) because our eyes are going to shop to have something ~! Sightseeing is different. It’s the another factor. Keep going! Ask your husband ~😊🤞.
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) I haven't decided where to go today yet, but the weather is nice, so I'll go out in a little while. My husband is watching baseball on TV right now. Ohtani hit a home run ⚾️ 😉✨ It depends on how the game goes. 🤭 I hope you have a great day today 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. How nice,your husband enjoy watching basketball game. Our Japanese Hero Otani san, he will make it! We will have a good day together.😊
Yes, today, the two-way player Ohtani was pitching, so my husband was watching the game on TV. I was taking care of the roses 🌹, cutting the stems and fertilizing them. I sprinkled medicine on the soil to protect them from disease, because I want the roses 🌹 to bloom healthily and beautifully from now on. 🐰💗
Yes, yesterday I took care of the roses in my garden, then went to Nabana no Sato in the afternoon to see the dahlias. I was so tired from all the walking that I went to bed early.🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good! Sleep well~ it’s the best for us. 8~ 10(go for it)hours a day. I sleep well every day. And have a nice meal. You can cook the nice one for your husband! 👌 Good day together! with smile 😊
Dahlias are in full bloom at Nabana no Sato right now, with a variety of flowers blooming, from small to giant. There were many people tending to the flowers, and even while looking around, they seemed to be cutting ✂️. Yesterday, I received lotus root from a neighbor, and made lotus root kinpira, salad, and stew. 😋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice! Now you will have a new project to go for ~ . ‘Dahlias’…yes, it’s the season here, too. Well~ I will try to look for the lady tomorrow ~… I hope I will be able to see~! 🙂 I will walk~’tekuteku’ Good day for us! 😊
@たま！ Good morning! Tama san Thank you for a message. I see your photo every day.(mainichi tama san no shashin o mite imasu). “nido-ne”…wa “nikai nemurukoto”👍 Let’s have a good day! (Iihi de). 😊
Yes, I hope you find some dahlias on your walks. Dahlias used to bloom in my garden every year, but I haven't seen any this year. I left them planted, so I wonder if they were attacked by bulb beetle larvae.😩💦
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. Yes, I met one pink dahlia this morning. I am happy. tekuteku 🚶🏻♀️👍 I know~ you want to do in your garden ~ ?! It’s challenging. Good day together. 😊
I'm glad you found some dahlias! They might have bloomed in your garden in the spring. I wonder if they're a dormant variety now. 🤔 Dahlias are lovely to have planted in your garden, aren't they? 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 🌞 Yes. I posted Pink Dahlia today. I do not have this flowers in my garden. I have told you before. My garden is the Rose Garden. I have some~ in my garden. Good day together! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️ Dahlias bloom every year in my garden, but they might have bloomed in the spring. I can't see them this time of year. I was told about Yumiko's rose garden, so I know about it. I see you've posted pink dahlias. I'll take a look. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! I know…every flower has its own way to bloom ~. My roses are getting less~…I picked some of them and put them in the flower vase. They are cute ladies on my dining. Winter is coming soon. Thank you for a message about Dahlia. Let’s go for a good day! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Today, my husband is driving me to the Gifu World Rose Garden in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, to see the autumn roses. The leaves on our roses were looking weak, so on October 30th, I sprayed some soil medicine on them. Apparently, it's effective against insects and diseases. Yes, it worked yesterday, and the Maurice Utrillo-inspired blooms are starting to recover. I'm so happy!
Good morning. ☺️✨ Today, I'm going to get my flu shot. Before that, I'm going to try to clean the windows in my house as much as possible. Thank you for always reading my blog. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 👍 Me,too. Yesterday I had a doc. appointment and had flue shot. My arm is sore. for one day It’s…now cold season. Let’s take care of ourselves. Still we remember how we survived from COVID-19. Wash our hands 🙌 always. Not to be too close to the people. Unlikely to join with crowd. And we will have a good time and day! with smile 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ I see you also got your flu 💉 vaccination yesterday. It seems that influenza A has been spreading since last month, and some schools have closed classes. Even after getting the vaccination, try to avoid crowds as much as possible, and when you get home 🏠️, wash your hands and gargle. We all want to stay healthy. 🐰💗
Good morning.☺️✨ Today, we have a "trash pick-up" in the neighborhood. I hope it doesn't rain. It's forecast to rain from 9:00. I'll start picking up trash at 8:00 and hopefully it will go smoothly. 🤭
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! ☀️ We have the same system as you have. Once a week, we can clean the boxes/ trash, Green and plastic stuff. I feel the same way. 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ It ended up raining ☔️ yesterday, but I was holding an umbrella and picking up trash along the road. There was a lot of trash lying around, seemingly thrown away by unreasonable people. 😚
