May Storm

It's been very stormy for weeks.
Weather reports say "May Storm" when getting warm the cold weather crushes and battles to cause the strong storm like typhoon.
I feel it very uneasy and dangerous every day.
There were many problems caused by the storm here and there.
And it makes the matters worse that storm brings us yellow sands which contaminated with virus and poison pm2.5 from the continent.
So you should wear masks when you go out and avoid from getting sickness.

Shinda surprised to give birth a baby

Nobody noticed that 24-year-old gorilla Shinda - who is a bit overweight - was pregnant. After several miscarriages, she was expected to remain childless.
From the video, Shinda is really caring for the baby and treating her baby like her treasure.
Hope she will do mother work well.

Shinda gave birth a baby

I wonder how old Shinda for the human age. It can be estimated.

How old is it for a human age?
So Shinda gave birth a baby as 53 -year-old as the human age!
It's so amazing.

What's this?

I walked around the neighborhood and found a big tree more than 5 meters tall, which has blossoms on the top but almost green leaves.
The blossoms are falling and the shape is like a trumpet.
I wonder what this tree is.
Has anyone ever seen it?

GW eat and fun

Drove to the south on the route 41 before Takayama you can reach to the old restaurant, which serves Tofu steak, hormon famous in those area.
It's open 11:00am but there was already a long queue around 10:00 am.
I finally ate them at 12:00pm.
It was a long wait and drive day.

Hiving the nest

I look for swallows to nest in the countryside.
I used to find swallows nesting at Rinrin in Nirehara villege.
This time nests in the restroom were destroyed and broken because of droppings' dirtiness.
I felt very sorry for that.
Then I went into farther and found the nests were inside the shop.
I'm very happy to see them welcome and bough fresh mountain vegetables.

Flea market

I went to the flea market after a long while.
I used to go there when my children were small and enjoyed walking around each open street stall.
Once my daughter asked me to open a stall there and we tried one with some friends there. It was just fan of old memories.

Yesterday many people were coming and going at the area.
I wanted to some fresh vegetables but it was too late at around 8:30am though....I finally found the last two packages of small bamboo shoot.
I joyfully bought them and a wild plant "Yomena" at the other stall.
I'll go get fresh vegetables next month earlier in the morning.

Color Amber

It's time to open a barrel.
I made soaked the Chinese quince in the liquor last November, which was picked in the John's garden.
I tasted Karin liquor last night.
It's good on the rock and with sparkling water.
