I'm so glad you were able to come across such a lovely flower. I have pink Zephyranthes growing in a planter at home, but I don't have this pure white Zephyranthes growing. Today, I'm going to Nagoya with my husband to a concert. Yumiko, what kind of music have you been enjoying with your headphones lately? I hope you have a wonderful day today too🐰💗
Good mornevening, Yuming ! 😄👌 Zephyranthes Tamasudare is so cute as Yuming that I like the flower !🤗 I also posted a photo of Tamasudare to GS on November 9th this month.🌕 White flowers have a clean, pure feel to them, which is nice ! 👰♀️🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for message. When I wake up, I listen to the classical music for 30 minutes. While I am swimming, I listen to Latin, guitar music and some. When I am doing GS(right now)I listen to ENKA(Japan). 😀 When I sleep, I do not need any music. And I listen to smooth Jazz, California Chii station in CA~ lots. How about you? We will have a good time together! 😊
@グリーン芝 Good morning! Good. That’s your time/Sunday on or off. You are busy ~ everyday (itsumo isogashiku shite ite)💪! gamba Let’s have a good day together. with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Yes. I saw your photo now, again. It’s the same my flower. lovely I will tell you. My new daily schedule. After my swimming(for 75 minutes), I will walk for 30 minutes at the walking Lap at my club. * My club is a sort of one of the best facility in USA. Anyway I have started last week. Today was #5day. I have no sore~ . I will still keep going. 🤓I will see ~ You have been doing great! Ok!😁because you are still young! (I thought you are 8 years elder to me). We are the same age! Let’s go for today and tomorrow. 6 month- oni~chan! lovely See you tomorrow! Take a rest~. And have a nice cocktail time! 🍻
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) While doing housework, I listen to my favorite songs on YouTube, mostly J-pop by artists like Kenshi Yonezu, backnumber, Yuming, Spitz, Mr. Children, Hikaru Utada, Kazumasa Oda, etc., but I also listen to classical and new music by my favorite professional pianists. Sometimes I even put on my headphones 🦻🏻 when I'm in the vegetable garden. Classical music in the morning is soothing to the soul, and jazz is wonderful in the evenings 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for telling your new daily schedule ! 🏊♀️🚶♀️💦🤗👌 Today, Oni-chang am going to watch Maikos dance in Kyoto, and I will have a dinner and drinks with Maikos in the evening. 🚃⛰️⛩️👘🍻🌃 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@くさちゃん Good morning! Kusa chan I see your photos. Nice ones! Keep going. We have a nice day together. with our smiles (itsumo no egao ga mainichi o tsukutte kuremasu)🫶😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice! You have own your favorite music station. lovely Right, everyone has his own sense to choose the music 🎶. We will have a good day together! with smile 😊
GS and music ♬♪ are my daily pleasures. I get to talk to Yumiko and learn about various flowers and other details. I listen to music with earphones 🦻🏻, so I can immerse myself in my own world while doing housework and gardening. The songs I want to listen to change depending on the day. I listen to a variety of genres. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning 🌞 How nice! Enjoyable I enjoyed at “Gion matsuri”. In April. I wore kimono~ . My friends were waiting to see me(in 1988). In Kyoto, a nice place to stop by have a delicious Kyoto ‘osouzai’:wabisuke I had a good time there. okamisan (sukoshi hototta egao no suteki na hito)/ (shiroi kappougi o kiteite).
You know bro, I wish I could ~ Not right now. In the new feature. I will tell about me. soon or later. Let’s have a nice day together! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your messages !😄 Oni-chang would like to see Yuming in a kimono sometime.👩👘😍 Please show me a picture of you in a kimono in 1988.👘🤗👌 Kyoto is a nice place, but it's currently overcrowded due to overtourism.✈️ Kamishichiken(上七軒) in Kyoto, where I visited yesterday, wasn't very crowded and I can feel the traditional cultur of Kyoto there.😊 I also spoke to a few maiko. ☺️👘 The appearance of maiko retains many of the aspects of women's fashion in the Edo period. 😄👌 The large ornamental hairpins called kanzashi are modelled on seasonal flowers and changed every month. 👸 This month, the maiko's kanzashi is maple leaf.🍁🍁🍁 Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. …at my club ~ some people listen to the music 🎶 with earphones and swim and walk . Some people want to just talk~ talk to the people. No existing at all. In the pool It depends ~ why they want to come to the club. talking~ Every one has different hobbies and enjoys. You have a great day! with smile 😊
I see. It's true that some people join clubs to enjoy conversations with others by going to crowded places, and others join because they want to swim. Yumiko, you simply enjoy swimming. That's something to look forward to. I wonder if you listen to music with earphones while you're swimming. I hope you have a good time. 🐰💗
The flowers posted on November 18th are all dahlias that I saw at Nabana no Sato in Mie Prefecture. I bought two types of dahlias at the adjacent flower market. I planted them in a flower bed. Thank you for looking. 🐰💗
Thank Yuming for a message.😁🙇 Are you ok to show me a picture of Yuming in a kimono in 1988 ？🥰👘👌 I'm sure everyone of GS member will be happy if Yuming use this kimono appearance as your icon design ! 👘👩😍 Hoitara-tanon-masse ! 🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for your message. Being my age, what is the enjoyment to me? I picked up swimming when I was 55 years old. My condominium has a swimming on the 15th floor(I was living on the 27th floor). I was there to get Sun and played games in my device all the time in the morning. One senior lady, she was wearing headphone systems. She was listening to the 🎶 and swim very slowly(hira oyogi)/breaststroke. >~<~>~<go and come back~~~I was watching ~ 🧐 ???!!!, I will be able to swim~ like she dose. She motivated me. 💕 I started swimming and listening to music 🎶. 15 minutes ~ 30 minutes ~ 45 minutes and one hour for several years. Today I swim 75 minutes/day. every day. Sorry it’s boring story for you. Anyway ~ we have started something because we had got something new opportunity. You have that, too! We will open our eyes 👀 to go for the enjoyment. With happy smiles 😊😊 Good day together!
@太陽の塔 Good morning! I wish I could ~ but I have no idea to show you. 🙃on GS. I wonder when I wear kimono~ in my future. Well~my mother’s funeral. She is still fine with 93 years old. +my partner. He is (Tiger). We will have a nice day! Take care and sleep well. Have a nice cocktail time 🍻!
It's not a boring story. It was something that triggered her to awaken to something wonderful. It's a wonderful thing. She was attracted to the sight of an elderly person doing the breaststroke. She thought, "I want to try swimming too." Before, she hadn't even grown flowers. I wonder what triggered it 🤭 She started growing vegetables at home as well. She wanted to know the names of the flowers, and decided to join the GS app. By posting, she felt joy at having "discovered these flowers." One day, at that time. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message ! 😄 I suggest you register a photo of yourself in a kimono for your GS icon.👘😊🤗👌 Don't you have any photos of yourself wearing a kimono that you have taken in the past ? 🤔📸👘👱♀️ Maiko and geiko are the women dancing with such elegant kimono.👘 Their kimono designs should also convey a sense of season : cherry blossoms in spring, irises or fireworks in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and so on.🌸🎇🍁 Wearing seasonally appropriate kimonos is part of their job. 🤔💦 Maiko also have to entertain their guests by pouring their drinks, chatting, and playing games. 🥃🍶🍺🐟🥢🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I do understand what you say. Me, too. 3/17. 2020, it was “Green Day”. /Saint Patrick Day. I went to the club as usual. During I was swimming, some club staffs came out and talked to our swimmers. “By California senator, we will have to close our place as soon as possible. You take it easy and we will wait for you/leave”. 😮I was surprised. That’s it!~ COVID-19 for almost 2 years. How was about COVID-19 on your day and situation? In Japan. Anyway I can tell the people at my club, they are now ~ becoming careless. No wipe their hands, no clean after they use machines. Still be careful of COVID-19 + influenza. 😊Thank you for messages Good day together!
When I went to Kyoto, I noticed that some people were wearing masks and others weren't. There were people coughing openly without wearing masks in crowded areas. If someone with the flu or COVID-19 were in that crowd, it would spread to so many people. There's really nothing you can do but protect yourself.😨😷
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) That's right. There are people with good manners and those without. If there's no hand dryer after washing your hands, you should dry them with your own handkerchief. But some people don't have one and instead use toilet paper and then just throw it on the floor. I've seen people like that while traveling – completely unsanitary and with no regard for manners or etiquette.😤
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Yes. Definitely, When I wear kimono, I will put a photo on GS. Maybe black (Mourning). because of my mother. Let’s have a good day together! with our smiles! 😊😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I know… it’s now they are careless. We are forgetting about COVID-19. We still make it sure. I don’t wear mask,so far. Take care of yourself. with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I really understand what you said. However, people are people. 😉(Shikatanashi). Make it sure for us to do clean our hands always. 👍 Let’s go for a good day together! with our smiles 😊😊
Yes, right now, people around me are starting to move on from COVID-19, and since the flu is currently prevalent, the number of people wearing masks varies. Depending on the location, masks are still necessary, and the hospital I went to the other day required them. 🐰💗
That's right. It's the same with everyone around me; some people wear masks voluntarily, and others don't. To protect yourself, it depends on the location, but it's probably necessary in crowded places or hospitals. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! I know…actually here, people are becoming careless/at the club. It’s up to us. Wearing a 😷 or not. I am not. If I go back to Tokyo. I will ~. Your place is also ok, right?! Let’s go for this winter. 👍
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yumiko, while I understand that there's a sense of complacency that comes with getting used to things, it's really troublesome when people who are coughing go around without masks. To avoid encountering such situations, it's probably safer to wear a mask whenever you're out and about. Are you coming to Tokyo in the winter? Please dress warmly! It will probably be quite cold here. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 🌞 I understand that what you said. But ~ We can’t tell “wear a mask”, right?! If you uncomfortable, do not go the place. I will do that. Right now I have no plan to go back to Tokyo. ~~ maybe next year. ☘️ Good day together. 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ I've been feeling a bit under the weather these past few days, and I've been feeling incredibly sleepy after meals. The sneezing is due to rhinitis, but I'm finally starting to feel better. Maybe I was just sleep-deprived? 🤭 Yes, everyone has to protect themselves. It's difficult to tell people to "wear a mask," isn't it? 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. I think you have been having a nice life. However…”luck of sleeping”… Solution: make your body work. Excise~walk(I think you do ~ or driving) You are fine, I am not worried about you. Healthy! 👍 About wearing a mask ~ I have no idea 🤷♀️. Here very rarely the wear a mask. (1%~ less than that). We will have a nice day! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes, it's true that I use my whole body when I'm working in the vegetable garden, but what I always notice when I'm out and about is that I get tired easily when climbing places with lots of stairs, which I think is due to a lack of physical fitness. I realized this again during my day trip to Kyoto the other day, when I saw people walking up the stone steps so effortlessly. Daily walks are really important! 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! ☀️ I understand that. I know~ when we go for a trip, we walk~~a lot. Unexpectedly You do enough exercise! 👌 If you do take care of the garden, it’s not so much exercise/day. Think of something ~ right, you walk ~ right?! Our life is very simple. Let’s go for a nice day! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Last night, I went to bed a little after 10 PM so I could be well-rested for today's outing. Right now, my husband is driving us to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. We left the house early this morning and will be arriving at our destination soon. 🐰💗
Good morning.☺️✨ Yesterday, I headed to Osaka early in the morning and spent the day at Universal Studios Japan, enjoying Christmas events, browsing Snoopy merchandise shops and cafes, riding attractions, and watching 4D films. Although the park was open until 9 PM, I stayed until around 7:30 PM. I didn't get home until after 10 PM. I was so tired from all the walking that I didn't even hear my alarm clock and overslept this morning. 😅
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 😀 It was a nice trip. 2.5 hour drive ~ You had a good time. Enjoyable Yes. Take a rest~ and go for what you like to do~(with your husband). lovely Enjoy our lives! Let’s go for today and tomorrow. with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yesterday, my son and his wife, and their two daughters came to our house. We celebrated the "O-kuizome" ceremony, which is a traditional Japanese ceremony for a baby's first meal, for my younger granddaughter at a Japanese restaurant. We were taught how to do it at the restaurant; it involves pretending to feed the baby, starting with the eldest person, by bringing the food (rice, simmered dishes, sea bream, etc.) on the tray to the baby's mouth in order. When my own children were babies, we did this ceremony at home, preparing the food ourselves. The ceremony went smoothly, and we expressed our wish for her healthy growth. I hope she will continue to grow into a kind and gentle girl.
Good morning.☺️✨ Many Japanese customs and events, including those expressing the wish for children to grow up healthy and strong, are now held outdoors, which is a change from the past. However, the relaxed pace of the ceremony made it feel very sacred. Thank you. 🐰💗
Good morning.☺️✨ Thank you for your concern. I woke up at 4 AM this morning and was awake for a while, but I was still sleepy and went back to sleep. It didn't affect breakfast, though; I harvested some komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) from the field and used it in my miso soup. It was fresh and delicious! 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. You made a nice one. I today made vegetable/Okura, Edamame, daikon, kombu~ with miso. Keep being healthy! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 🌞 Yes. I have miso soup everyday. Vegetable…any kind, tofu, soybeans~ etc. 😋 I have just made a soup with radish(daikon), tofu, cabbage 🥬 with seaweed. Before I eat, I put miso. *not to make miso soup. But make a soup and add the miso just before your eating. ☝️ has a sense?!
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Hi! I have not heard from your voice for a week. How are you doing? I hope everything is ok. We have a nice friendship on GS. Have a good day. You can talk to me about anything anytime. I will be with you. 💕
