Good morning. ☺️✨ The peonies 💖🩷 are so vibrant, with beautiful colors and shapes. Our peonies have all been cut and are no longer blooming in the garden. Thank you for sharing these lovely flowers. 🐰💗
Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ,Yuming ! 🌅🌃 Wow, what a magnificent red peony !🌺😄🤗👌 Peony is called Shakuyaku(芍薬) in Japan. 🇯🇵 It is said that the name comes from the kanji character "芍" itself, which carries the meanings of "outstandingly beautiful" and "flexible," combined with the fact that the plant has been highly valued as a medicinal herb"薬" since ancient times.👩👩🦰👱♀️👩🦳🌿💊🤔 Oni-chan uploaded pictures of red and white peonies(芍薬) to GS yesterday. Are you copying my idea?🤭 I charge for my ideas.💴💰💸 Hoitara-ne.😁🌞✌️
@かずちゃん Good morning! 🌞 Thank you for a message. I walk~ around my house , teku teku 🚶🏻♀️and take a picture of the flower. ☝️ flower a day. And posted her. Is this ok to answer to your question? We will have a good day together! with smile 😊
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. My friend called me. “Yumiko san, it’s blooming today”. I visited her garden. She wants to know about the flower. I gave a report about this flower. A long one/3 times longer one than GS. She is very happy to know about the flower in her garden. give and take~! It’s our life 😊💕
@花散歩 Good morning! Thank you for a message. It’s the best time to see this flower when I was walking 🚶🏻♀️ teku teku. Let’s have a good day together! (kyou mo isho ni ii hide). 😊with smile
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Yes. I saw your photos. Nice ones! Enjoyable photos You will take care of yourself today. You were so busy~ amazing You have to say thank to your wife. Do you go for a trip by yourself or with your wife? I am thinking of you. 🙂 Good day together!
We were able to enjoy the peonies in our garden for a while. There were both double and single-petaled varieties. I cut some early and put them in a vase. The pink double-petaled ones were lovely. Seeing your pictures of the peonies brought back memories of when they were in bloom. We also had red peonies in our garden. They're so beautiful, aren't they? 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for taking a look at the photos of my peonies so quickly !🌺😄👌💦 Oni-chan visited the Osaka Mint yesterday.🧱🪙🌸🤔 Learning about the history of currency and how coins are made reveals the evolution of human trade and engineering.🧐🤗👌 I experienced the cherry blossom viewing at the Mint Bureau in spring🌸, but now the cherry trees are covered in thick leaves, and there are a lot of weeds growing🌿. Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ユミ Good morning! I know~ ‘rain gutter’=“amadoi” was fixed?! It’s good. My house had a trouble before. /Stuffed with small leaves 🍃 (chiisana happa ga tsumatte). We take care of our house to live comfortably. Have a nice day! 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. It’s interesting photos of new Japanese coins. Seeing is believing! I have never seen such new Japanese coins in my life. great experience 👍 Life is Good! LG nice day today and tomorrow! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your kind words !😄👌 So, 'LG' was an abbreviation for 'Life is Good'.🤔🙌 There were other possibilities like "Let's Go", "Looking Good", and "Lucky-Goldstar", but now I know it's "Life is Good".🤗✌️ The Japan Mint produces a wide variety of coins. I would love to get my hands on the 500-yen Sakamoto Ryoma coin and the 1,000-yen Myaku-Myaku coin.🪙💰💙♥️👀 The Tensho Hishi Oban(天正菱大判) created by Toyotomi Hideyoshi is extremely valuable because there are only 5 to 6 pieces known to exist in the world🌏.😳🧐👌 Hoitara-ne. 🌞✌️💦
I've been telling them it's a peony 💗💖, not a peony 😰, and yes, when it rains ☔, I relax in my room, listening to music on YouTube, enjoying GS, and checking Instagram. I wonder if it will be sunny ☀ tomorrow. 🐰💗
@ユミ Good morning! ☀️ How nice~ I had done ✔️ that a couple years ago. It’s still ok 👌 today. Keeping a house~, it is not so easy. We will go for today and tomorrow together! Have a good day 😊
@pechako How nice! You visited the garden and had a nice time. You took pictures of the flowers? Post them. You do not have to study about the flower all the time. Just show the photos and the name of the flower(it’s necessary). Enjoyable on GS. Good day together 😊😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. “Sakamoto Ryouma” he died with 31 years old(1867) because of assassination(ansatsu). Historical great man ✌️ I am sure you are interested in him. 😊 We will have a good day!
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 That is correct, I am interested in Ryoma Sakamoto.⚔️🚢🌊👨🦰✌️ The 2010 NHK Taiga drama "Ryomaden" was fascinating because it told the story of Sakamoto Ryoma.😄👌💦 In Nagasaki, Sakamoto Ryoma established Kameyama Shachu, which is said to be Japan's first joint-stock company as a private trading company and political association. 😁🤗 With financial assistance from the Satsuma Domain and others, it engaged in the shipping industry, brokered weapons, and transported information and materiel for overthrowing the shogunate, serving as the driving force behind the Meiji Restoration.💥🌞✌️ I visited the Glover House in Nagasaki three years ago.✈️ Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋😴👌
@ユミ Good morning! I know~ me, too. I have hairdressing allergy and I can’t dye my hair in my life. 😔 I envy the people to dye their hair nicely. I have seaweed and another nice ones for my hair. I have long hair as you know. I use ‘hair manicure’ ! My hair is always black the rest of my life. I will take care. It’s my symbol. “Japanese Yumi”. They call me. 😊 Let’s go for a nice day!
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a nice info about Sakamoto Ryouma. Actually I have really known and studied about him because there is “Sakamoto Ryouma Memorial hall” in Hakodate. We can watch the video~ at the small museum. I had a nice time. As I told you, Hakodate will be my heaven place. 😁 If you have an opportunity to visit Hakodate in the future. You will be enjoying a lot of places. Still good day! I will be out to my garden, and trim my roses. They are waiting for me! 😊 See U tomorrow! Take care of yourself~.
Yes. Sometimes translations work perfectly and convey what I want to say, but other times, when I encounter situations where the name of a flower doesn't come across well, which is disappointing, I just have to avoid talking about it. In those cases, please understand. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message ! 😄 Oni-chang am going to tatami-bed early tonight because I have to wake up early tomorrow morning(3:20am) to go to Tottori. See you tomorrow !🚙💨🌞✌️💦💦
