「sakura-matsuri」　　

Today was a perfect day for お花見.

There is a back street called 桜通り
near my apartment.

さくらまつり was held here in the 桜通り
today.

I went to the festival
and enjoyed a short parade
and bright music performed
by local junior high school students.

Many people were gathering there.

They all looked happy.

I do love the excitement of the festival.

There was a street stall with a banner
復興支援　福島応援隊.

At the stall I bought the following goods
for my daughter's family.

The wind sometimes drifted the fallen petals.

How nice to enjoy さくらまつり
with flower petals fluttering in the air!

「What a hot day!」　　

It's March 29 today.

The temperature rose to 25℃
here in Kodaira, Tokyo.

Oh, what a hot day for March!

Today was the first official
“summer day” of the year.

I'm awfully afraid about what is going to
happen this summer —

I'm afraid of the fierce heat of summer.

Am I worrying about the future needlessly?

We enjoyed the exhibition of 「寛永文化」titled
寛永の雅（江戸の宮廷文化と遠州・仁清・探幽）.

It was a quiet and elegant world.

We were not allowed to take any pictures.

Around three we went to Ueno Park
to view cherry blossoms.

They were in full bloom.

A number of people were enjoying 花見.

Everybody was smiling.

What a peaceful scene!

We had a wonderful day.

Thank you so much, Mrs. M!

「Will it snow tomorrow?」　　

According to the TV weather report,
it will snow here in Tama area.

The other day we had a hot day
as if it were the beginning of summer.

It was cold today and I went out
wearing my winter coat.

I'm worried about this unusual weather.

I'm worried about frequent earthquakes
or recent volcanic activities.

Do I take things too seriously?

I see spring flowers in bloom sweetly.

Cherry blossoms will soon be in full bloom.

Spring has returned, I believe.

「celebrating my daughter's birthday」　　

How quickly time flies!

The day has come again.

Today is my daughter's 50th birthday.

I can't believe 50 years have passed
since she was born.

I can't believe 44 years have passed
since my husband passed away.

I feel as if everything had happened
only yesterday.

I'm now thinking of my good old days
--on your 50th birthday.

I love you so, dear.

Happy Birthday, Daughter!

「raining all day」　　

It has been raining all day
here in Kodaira.

It is too cold to walk in the rain.

But I had to walk in the cold rain
after lunch.

We’ll be within the storm zone
tomorrow morning.

Traffic in the city will fall into confusion,
I’m afraid.

I hope the spring gale will not cause
any disasters.

I am worried about abnormal weather.

「the hinamatsuri festival」　　

Did you enjoy the hinamatsuri?

March 3 is called the Peach sekku,
or the hunamatsuri, the Doll Festival.

I went to see my daughter in the afternoon.

She alone was at home.

I was happy to have a relaxed talk
with her.

She is always busy studying physics
both at college and at home,
so I have few chances to talk to her.

We talked and laughed eating ひなあられ.

When I came back to my apartment,
I found a fat envelope in the mailbox.

It was a lovely gift from IY-san,
a good old friend of mine in Niigata!

How nice to hear from her!

Thank you so much, IY-san.

(on the way back to my apartment, at 5:00pm)
