 The fragrance is strongest in the morning.
and it's wonderful!

memo for my self

I must remember that
unpleasant incidents and people are like weeds.

They grow in my garden,
where I want beautiful flowers and aromatic herbs to grow.
If we leave it untreated, eventually the garden will be desolated.
But once we pulled the weeds, look how fluffy the soil is.
The weeds can become composts for even better soil.

So I thank the unpleasant incidents and people,
say goodbye to them and concentrate on cherishing my garden.

enjoying the sound of rain

A typhoon is approaching.
I like to light an aromatic candle on a rainy day.

Autumn is here!

Yesterday when I went for a walk, I saw several Asian Brown Flycatchers and Grey Streaked Flycatchers.

They are definitely one of my favorite birds. 
Had to go today again with my camera and say hi to them.

how adorable!!





















"did you see me catch that bug?"

back yard

マロウの花が元気に咲いています。
蜂がぶんぶん花から花へ、花粉まみれになって飛んでいくすぐそばで花を摘みました。
彼らはどこかでマロウ蜂蜜を作ってるんですね(^^)





山から少し頂いたヘビイチゴも無事庭に定住。
たくさんの実をつけました。
