Four Seasons

我が家の近くではお茶が採れます。
八十八夜は少しすぎましたがお茶の新芽がみずみずしく目に滲みます。

Good evening,Elke. I'm sorry a little bit late to the Dinner Party.

Is tonight party style like a this? :

1. Link to who tagged you.
2. Post the rules.
3. Name 5 people (living or dead) that you'd like to see at one of your dinner parties.
4. Name your favorite artist/sculptor.
5. Name 2 things you would like to change about yourself.
6. Name 2 things you like about yourself.
7. Name 2 things you are looking forward to in the future.
Then tag 5 people and send them the rules and the invitation too.

Let's get started.

I'd like to see at tonight:
Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Oda Nobunaga.

My favorite artist:
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni.

I'd like to change about myself:
I'd like to change to new eyes and fatless waist.

I like about myself:
I daresay..... my smile and my honesty.

I'm looking forward to in the future:
I'd like to win big lottery and have some little grandchildren.

Last mission is difficult because I have still few friends at this community.
So I send to invitation to 3 people:

Thank you for having us. We enjoyed ourselves.
Good night.

日本の４月といえば「桜」をおいて他にないでしょう。
学校の入学式やお花見と、４月の必須アイテムです。

そんなわけで、このブログで紹介するのはどのシチュエーションにしよかと
あちこち歩いたのですが、ここに決めました。
近くの御嶽神社の境内にある「しだれ桜」で、なんと、夜はライトアップしてくれるので、それを紹介します。
どうぞご覧ください。

You maybe associate the name of SAKURA with April in Japan.
So I introduce this SAKURA. It has being in shrine precincts(name is MITAKE-JINJYA).
It is called "SHIDAREZAKURA" in Japan.
It was more beautiful because it was lighted up tonight.
Go ahead please.

ご先祖様を敬うことはどこの国でも同じだと思う。
しかし、それを国の休日（３月２０日）にして、毎年、年２回（秋は９月）お墓参りに行く
というのは素晴らしいことじゃないですか。
若いうちは行かなかったりするけど、年をとると自然と行くようになるから不思議だ。

Show respect for one's ancestors is the same in every country, I think.
However, in Japan, it is national holiday ("Vernal Equinox Day", March 20), and twice a year ("Autumnal Equinox Day" in September) go to visit graves day.
It is a very good deed.
Even when I was young I did not have to visit a grave, now, I have to do it.

このブログを始めたのが昨日なので９日遅れですが
「ひなまつり」について。
本来は３月３日に女の子が丈夫でかわいく成長し、良い結婚ができるようにと願い「雛人形」を飾ります。
ちなみに我が家は飾らなくなる日が刻一刻と近づいているようですwww。
