Yesterday Ms. Y and I climbed Mt. Shiroyama
after an interval of 5 months.
Mt. Shiroyama is 670 meters high.
Mt. Shiroyama always welcomes us.
Mt. Shiroyama is one of my favorite mountains.
There were many hikers at the top of Mt. Shiroyama.
We had onigiri with nameko-miso-soup there.
What a wonderful world!
I breathed in deeply.
"I am grateful for everything," I said to myself.

Yesterday YM-san, a friend of mine in Niigata, visited me.
We had lunch at a restaurant in Isetan Department Store
in Tachikawa.
Both of us likes to walk very much.
We enjoyed walking and talking in Showa Kinen Park.
Cherry blossoms were gone but we were happy to see
a lot of lovely flowers.
I love Showa Kinen Park in every season.
オオデマリ welcomed us at the gate.

The cherry blossom season is passing
and the season of fresh green is coming
in Tokyo.
Time is passing on.
Time is said to heal everything.
But time goes very slowly in the devastated
Tohoku coast.
Hurry up to give those people living in shelters
aid and comfort, please.
Ah, if only there were some ways to get over
the nuclear crisis!
It's Friday today and I attended Friday English Class.
We read two articles published by Yokota Air Base.
One was about
"Yokota UH-1 pilot who shares his experience
on relief mission".
The pilot is our teacher's husband!
The other article was from "Tomodachi Times"titled:
Commentary: "Thank You" not necessary;
U.S. forces honored to help reopen Sendai
I was deeply moved by these two articles.
Our teacher brought us Easter chocolate again.

Today we had very changeable weather
here in Kodaira.
When I got up at seven, it was raining slightly.
When I was going out around 9:00, the rain had stopped
but the sky was full of dark clouds.
I thought to myself, "Looks like it's going to rain again."
I took an umbrella with me and went to my daughter's.
Early in the afternoon the sun appeared from behind
the clouds! Wow! The sky cleared up!
I took a picture of my tree 'karin (quince)' in the yard
of my daughter's house.
Then hana-mizuki(dogwood) of the neighbor's caught my eyes.
How beautiful those white flowers against the blue sky!
But around 4:30 the rain began to fall again.
I walked back to my apartment through the pouring rain.
I hope today's rain will do good to those who are suffering
from hay fever.

It's Friday today.
I attended Friday English Class at Kominkan
in the morning.
We have three English classes a month--
one is at Chuo-Kominkan and the other two classes
at a nearby Kominkan.
Today's class was held at Chuo-Kominkan.
I can go there by bus but I make it a rule to walk there.
It took me 25 five minutes to get there.
(view from our room of Chuo-Kominkan)
We, seven ladies, enjoyed talking about many things
in English.
Our teacher brought us a package of Easter chocolate.
Thank you, Ms. CH-san!
After the class I took a detour to enjoy the spring.
How comfortable to walk in the spring sunshine!
(hana-momo I saw on the way back)
I've walked 11060 steps so far.
Oh, it's time to go to koharu's!
She is coming home from school.
