Today is o-higan, Autumn Equinox Day.
I remember my mother used to cook o-hagi for us.
Yes, her o-hagi was very delicious.
When I was in Niigata, a friend of mine always cooked
o-hagi for me.
She was very good at cooking.
She was always so kind as to help me when I had
no appetite and could not cook for my daughter.
I used to put her o-hagi on my altar.
o-hagi was my husband's favorite!
Oh, how much I miss them all!

Yesterday, I got out of my apartment at the sound
of some cheerful sound outside.
It was a sacred parade of o-mikoshi.
An o-mikoshi was being carried along the street
of tamagawa-josui.--in front of my apartment.
The o-mikoshi was carried on the shoulders of many men.
It was really an exciting and lively sight.

This morning I opened the window
and saw a beautiful blue sky.
Typhoon 13 had gone over Kanto Area
before I got up.
I've just been to a farmer's market.
What a lovely day!

koharu's mother was busy today.
So I took koharu to K Sports Club.
Every Wednesday koharu attends its swimming class
after school.
koharu's ear doctor permitted her to swim last summer.
How happy she felt!
koharu likes swimming very much.
koharu is now learning to swim the crawl.
koharu managed to swim 25 meters.
I am sure swimming will be good for her weak legs.
Yes, koharu's legs are getting stronger, though she
often falls down so easily.
It was already dark. when we came home.
koharu and I stopped to see sunflowers on the way home.
Sunflowers were smiling even in the dark.
(koharu is singing the song of "gake no ue no ponyo."
---on the way to K Sports Club)
