Do you know "Sakura neko"?

It's an article "Sakura neko". It means stray cats and let them give sterilization not have to give birth babies any more. Abandoned or stray cats increase if they don't finish that operation.
It's a problem to kill them being increased.
It's a pretty sign with each ear cutting Sakura mark.
I've never seen such mark on it.
I hope it will be promoted and stop the killing kitties.

Wise quote

"Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

It's very golden and inspired word to make me assured.
We can't avoid anything what will happen in the great nature but it should be.
I really respect great nature and protect as it is. So I easily get along with the nature near me.
We should know we are only a part of nature as well as lots of creatures.

In harmony with nature

Rainy blue

It had been great fine day for all the silver week but it got to drop rain fall after the holiday.
I remember the beautiful color in my photo album showing the short and top beauty.

The sea, the clouds and the mountain

In the silver week, ocean blue and the sky are beautifully reflecting on the mountain behind.
People are playing with the waves at the beach.
I was enjoying collecting stones which might contain jade but if not so doesn't matter because the shape of the stones are round and smooth. I like those of different color of stones. They seem to me like jewels.
And then I had a great holiday lunch near the seaside valley.
It was a very relaxing holiday.

Autumn taste 4

I made up "umeshu" and started to drink from this week.
But I don't want to waste the ume fruits left in the bottle.
Actually I threw them all of the leftovers (liquored ume) last year.
This time I tried to reuse them for my taste.
First I picked five pieces of ume and cleared alcohol in the microwave. I removed seeds from the fruits and cut into small pieces. Then I made miso and sesame powder mixed up into paste, and then get together with ume and into"ume miso ae"
I wonder how it could use for? I tried to eat on the cucumber. It's so much and tasty!
Next one is "ume jam".
I just boil some ume in a pan until boiled up and then put sugar into and kept boiling for more than 30 minutes. While boiling the ume I added some dried fruits such as plum and berries. It made it from dark green to red. So that makes mixed jam including ume, plum and berries.
It's more natural and sour than the commercial items.
I'm very satisfied with my taste from the leftovers.

In the latter half of Silver Week

It's in the latter half of Silver Week.
Many people move around not only in Japan but also overseas.
There are different ways to spend the week. Those who unfortunately met awful disasters have to spend hard life. I used to convince that every life should be equal, devised and given blessing but something misfortune makes me confused a lot. But I'm sure whatever happens we can make our life fulfilled until the end and find out the better satisfaction by ourselves.
This is an aspect of recent change of life. This topic is hard to solve but we can't help accepting it.

Weekend quiz

It's a big difference between the photo of now and three years before. It's the same place and the same season near my area where one of my walk routes with my dog.
I was very surprised at the change of the scene. It used to be a beautiful rice field on September 8 in 2012 when I took the photo.






I think about the deserted place. No hand took after the old people after they couldn't work any more.
I guess not only this but also other such problems would happen because of lack of young people to succeed the land.
It's a pity for the treasure land it used to be.
Marie also seems to worry about it.

I've visited the renewal city library and the glass art museum building in the central town.
It opened last month.
It's grand and gorgeous design of six floors. You can stay in the library and open space from the first to the fourth for free but exhibition floors are from the second to six' for 1,000 yen.
I stayed there for about 2 hours and finished reading "scrap and build" in the magazine, which won the Akutagawa novel prize.
It was a nice moment walking around the city walk yesterday.
