藤棚

去る日曜日、市長選・市議選の投票へ行った帰り道、公園で見事な藤棚発見。あいにくの曇り空でしたが、満開でゴージャスな姿に思わずパチリ。

Casting my ballots for mayor and city councillor and on my way back to home, I found this wisteria trellis in tha park. Although it was cloudy, they were in full bloom and so gorgeous that I couldn't help taking a picture.

結婚２０周年

先日、結婚２０周年を祝いました。それはいいんだけど、夫からのプレゼントはこの虎の尾。プレゼントがあるだけいいじゃない（ちなみに私から夫へは無し）、と人は言うけれど、虎の尾ってどうよ～！
これからは一人で虎のようにたくましく生きていけ、というメッセージかしら・・・？

This is a present from my husband, celebrating our 20-year marriage. Some people say, "Hey, you should be grateful because most people get nothing for that," but how can I be happy with this sansevieria? I don't get it. I wonder if his message is, okay, I shoud live strongly by myself like a tiger.
