At Haruhi-en Tsuwano

by Yamamoto

Ms. Y and I went to visit jizo to pray, the other day. After that, we found butterbur, horsetail, and bracken around there.

Then I found poppy anemone too! It’s stem was about 15 centimeters high. Pure white lovely flower was in bloom on the top.

The flower has been getting more rarity value, as it decreased.

It was very nice to see the flower♪

Surrounded by rich nature, we enjoy picking wild vegitables of springtime.
Started with Japanese butterbur scapes, we can get Japanese parsley, mugworts, horsetails, towny daily lilies, and more around here.
We will soon have bamboo shoots, coil springs, bracken, fatsia sprouts as it gets warmer.
Our residents talk about how to eat them and they make Japanese tofu and Japanese parsley salad dressed with white miso, tempura, dishes boiled with soy sauce, boiled ones and so on.
We enjoy having a variety of dishes of wild vegetables every single day.

We always response our basic principle at morning gathering after breakfast.

We often ask a resident to write it again and again, because we often lose one after another…

Here is not ‘spot-the-difference’, but ‘spot-the-humor’.

Look at the two photos, and spot the humor!

The resident who wrote this always write it correctly.

But this time, he chuckled to himself, hearing staffs reading it and laughing at what he wrote.

At Haruhi-en Niho

It was warm afternoon, finally. Warm sunlight was streaming in Haruhi-en.

They spent time on their own.

One was talking her friend on the phone about how she has been doing here.

 Another was folding her own laundry.

Still another told me about the village nearby he was brought up, looking over the village through the window.

It is very fun to hear their stories. It brings us something new.

Mr. U: “Well, people up there were kind of that.”

Q-taro: !!!

Some stories give me cold sweat, which have many names of people and companies.

At Haruhi-en Niho 

It snowed just as a weather forecast said.

It snows at Niho more than at around the central part of Yamaguchi-shi.

We had snow on the ground, and it was still snowing daytime.

There was no one who wanted to go out.

 Oh, Who made the snowman on a table outside?

Our boss?

 Mr. T: “So cold! Hey, don’t catch a cold!”

Mr. U:”Gee! I was planning to go home today, though!”
