@ユミ You are always welcome! 💕 We are together on GS. Let’s have a good day! You can talk to me~. What did you do yesterday? Go grocery shopping, taking care of your flowers~ having a nice time with your family ~👍 Talk to me. I will be with you. Yumi-san. with smile 😊
@ちどり Good morning! 🌞 Thank you for a message. I saw this lady must be the last one on this season. I am happy to see this lady. Let’s go for a nice day together! with smile😊
Good morning.☺️✨ Is this the flower called "Shikon no Botan" around here? It's blooming so beautifully. It's one of my favorite flowers. It's a "one-day flower," and the most beautiful flowers are often the most fleeting. I'm growing it in a pot by my front door. There were some buds, so I wonder if it will bloom again. It's getting colder now, so I'm not sure. Thank you for showing me such a lovely flower. 🐰💗
Good mornevening, Yuming ! 🌅🗻 In Japan, "Princess flower " is called "Shikon-nobotan." 💙💜🌿😄👌 Oni-chang posted a photo of "Shikon-nobotan" to GS on November 1st this month. 🌃😄 The dark blue color of "Princess flower" that you posted on GS is so beautiful.💙 Hoitara-ne! 👋👋👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I was lucky. I saw the last flower on this season. I said to her, “see you next year.” Time is the occasion. Let’s have a good day and go for tomorrow! with smile 😊
Right now, the "Shikon no Botan" (purple-flowered shrub) by the entrance has some buds, but it's gotten quite cold lately, so it only blooms when the sun is shining brightly. I'd like to see it bloom a little more if possible.🤭 Yes, it's probably time to say "goodbye" until next year. 🤔 Have a wonderful day today! 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Yes,I saw your photo. It’s 👍 lovely. I saw that lady…it was the last one on this season. 🥲 Now~I am waiting winter flowers here. On this morning, I wanted to walk as usual, but it too foggy 🌫️ and ~ I did not walk. So~ I will post a flower tomorrow…I went back to a photo of before. I wish I could take a picture with nice situation. Sorry it’s a boring story. How do you today? Tomorrow? I have no plan especially. Have I told you? I started walking for 30 minutes after swimming(75min). I am happy. 🤚go for~ challenges Today is #10. I will see I will be able to go for this new practice. Have a good day! I watch your photos all the time. #13298 today! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Youming for your message ! 😄 I think it is not a boring story.🤔😊👌 Your story is lively. ✌️ But I'm just going through the motions, today and tomorrow. 😢 Because the Kansai Expo, proffessional baseball, and the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament kave all ended.😢 I also have no plan especially. 🤔 Hoitara-ne ! 📣📣📣🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I said to this lady “see you next year”. I went to the hospital. After finished, I went back to my car~ I saw ☝️ lady was blooming beside my parking place. She was so cute! I was with her for a while. Every day is coming. Let’s go ~ and have a nice day together! with our smiles 😊😊
My "Shikon no Botan" (purple flower) plant at the entrance of my house only has leaves and tightly closed buds right now. 🦆 It seems like it's saying, "See you again next year." Have a wonderful day today! 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning!🌞 Thank you for your reply. Yes. I am now doing~ new daily(walk for 30 minutes). 😉I have my stopwatch. …I will let you know later. I saw 👀 you cooked ~ ‘omuraisu’! How did you cook? I do / fried eggs 🍳 rice with ketchup(sometimes with minced onions) with rice ~ and wrapped. I am impressed. You cooks. We will go for today and tomorrow. Have a nice day! 😊with smile
@太陽の塔 Right now I saw your photo(11/23), #13,300! 👏It’s the great number! Congratulations 🎉 Keep going ~ We are looking forward to seeing your pictures✨.
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your kind reply ! 😉 Oni-chang have acquired how to make delicious and easy omurice !🍽️🥚😋 I used ketchup to sign my name in Kanji, 博🤫, and I drew it in the style of Taro Okamoto（岡本太郎）.🌞✌️ Thank Yuming for the congratulatory messages for my 13,300 pics achievement.🎊🙇🎉＼(^o^)／ My next goal is to reach 13,331 pics of 山本山(Yamamotoyama) ! 🙌😄 Do Yuming understand 山本山? 🤭 Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌃✨🎠✨
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. “Shikon nobotan” It’s becoming colder. This flower has been blooming until the last minute. I am happy to see her. I took a photo and said to her “see you next year”. We will have a nice day! 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Yes. I saw your picture. You made ‘omurice’. 😁it was great! I make it/ make egg thin. Rice with ketchup. Put rice on the thin egg and wrap it. You are new age. Because you need ketchup. Our age, I use bulldog-sauce(since 1950~). We will have a nice day! Take care of yourself. Washing hands 🙌 See U. 😊
The "Shikon no Botan" (Purple Peony) was today's flower, wasn't it? On November 26th, the Shikon no Botan was blooming beautifully with its lovely petals and stamens, but unfortunately, it's a flower that only lasts for a day. The way the petals flutter and fall is fleeting, but it's one of my favorite flowers. It's a flower that doesn't like the cold, but the one at my house is scheduled to overwinter by the front door. 🐰💗
Yes. Thank you for always watching. There have been times when I wanted to see the flowers again but things didn't work out, but this time I was able to see them several times. I hope you have a wonderful day today! 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your nice and rice message ! 😊😆 You say "Put rice on the thin egg and wrap it." But in my case, I cover the rice with a thin egg. 🍳🤗😋👌 I know Bull-Dog sauce from a long time ago.🤔😄 The English spelling of the company name is Bull-Dog, but in Japanese, it is written as "Bulldok" not "Bulldog." 🐶 This is because the founder wanted to avoid the feeling of a word with a series of voiced consonants when naming it. 🌞✌️ By the way, do Youming know Otafuku sauce ? It goes really well with the sauce you put on okonomiyaki. 😉 Takoyaki 🐙 is also delicious. 😋👌 Foods made with these flours(not flowers) are called "Konamon" in Osaka❗️🤭🏯🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 Yes. ‘Bull-Dog’ sauce story… 😀 I have been using this one for 60 years. ‘Otafuku sauce’…I saw it in the net now. I taste nice! I believe so. I wish I could get~…yes. When I go back to Japan, I will order this one to send it my house. Thank you for a info. lovely
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank my sister Yuming for your try for new sauce. 🐶👩🦳😋👌 Please try for Otafuku sauce ! 🥘🤔 By the way, Takoyaki🐙 is eaten with sauce, but Akashiyaki is eaten with a broth or soup. Do Yuming know Akashiyaki🐙🌉？ Totemo odashi ga oishii desuyo !😋👌 One common odashi ingredient is a type of kelp called konbu. Over 90 per cent of domestic wild konbu comes from Hokkaido, you know.😊😄 Since ancient times, the Japanese have been making great efforts to enrich their culinary culture, and the unique types of stock they've invented ーcollectively known as odashiーare infused with their wisdom and ingenuity.🤔😉🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne ! 👋👋👋
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 ‘Akashi Yaki’… it’s different from ‘takoyaki’. we put sauce on it. Akashi Yaki/ dipping with dashi soup 😋I wish I could have ~ Let’s go for a good day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄🌞✌️ Akashiyaki is so delicious that Oni-chang like it. 😋👌 The main differences between Akashiyaki and Takoyaki are the batter, ingredients, and how they are eaten.🤔🤗 Akashiyaki is a dish characterized by a soft and fluffy batter made with a high proportion of egg.🥚And the only ingredient is octopus. 🐙☝️（In addition to octopus, common ingredients for Takoyaki include green onions and tempura scrap.🥬🍤） It is typically eaten by dipping it in a light broth called "dashi-jiru".🥣🍺 Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌃✨🎠✨
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 😃 Thank you for a message. ‘Takoyaki’…Oosaka Takoyaki should be #1 in Japan. respect …When I was a little girl, I went to “ennichi”which opened only 4th,14th and 24th every month. * while I was growing up at SHITA MACHI(Ueno)in Tokyo, I wanted each takoyaki at ennichi. Yes. My mother gave me ¥100. I enjoyed for two hours ~. I still remember ~ I do not about Akashiyaki~I would like to have this in the future. 💕 Nice day together! with smile
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your story when you were little ! 😄👦👌 The 4th, 14th, and 24th of each month, days with a "4", are festival days (ennichi) for Jizo Bodhisattva(地蔵菩薩), such as at the Togenuki Jizo in Sugamo. ⛩️🙏📿 During the Edo period, horticulture was a popular hobby and there were festivals(ennichi) with extensive displays of potted plants. 🌳🌲🤗🧐 Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. 😕suddenly this device showed “no battery 🪫 “ and I couldn’t send the message. Now it was full charged. You talked about “Sugamo Togenuki-Jizou”! I was living there for 20 years till I moved to 🇺🇸. I used to go to the City library(Sugamo toshokan) and study 📖. In order to get the library, I always go through the street(zizou douri) and saw lots of shops and had a good time. “Odango ya san, tsukudani ya san, osenbei ya san~~!” I still remembered in those days. Right! On the 4th,14th,and 24th of month, It’s crowded with lots of people. They call this place “Oba~chan no Harajuku!”😄 “natsukashii omoide” Thank you! 😊 I will talk to you tomorrow. Jya~ne👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ My iPhone📱 was updated yesterday, and the ways to use it have changed in many ways. 🤔💦 The new updates are hard to get used to, making things more difficult to use. Komatta-mondesu-Ymiko san 🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 I understand that. I paid $1,387 to get today’s one. That’s how ~. You have been active. You are ~ probably #1~5 on Green Snap. We will go for~ 💕
