About the Author

(Revision on Dec. 17, 2014)

I am in my late 40s living in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.  I enjoyed working as a caregiver for the recent years, but I gave up since my health condition has declined.  I have been experiencing changes in my life since I'm in my menopausal stage.

I was still single when I started working for import-export businesses in Tokyo and worked there for 20 years.  I really enjoyed preparing various documents for customers overseas which consumed much of my younger days, and eventually became the reason for getting married late. 

To continue my enthusiam in writing and improving my English skills, I would like to express my daily activities by blogging. 

I got married at the age of 40, and it was the first marriage for both of us.  My husband, who was born in 1953, teaches Science at a junior high school.   We don't have children.  I love birds and  started to have my own pet birds when I was 27 years old.  We currently have 3 petbirds: two Budgerigars and one Cockatiel.  We also like taking pictures when we visit flower gardens and other tourist spots on weekends.

Tsuru chan, the old male Budgerigar, was born in June 2002.
He came with me from my old apartment in Tokyo.

In general, the life span of Budgerigars is upto 7 or 8 years old.
He is now at 12, rather old and weak.
I hope that he can tolerate the coldness of this winter.
He has yellow color on his face and body.
 

P chan, the young male Budgerigar, was born in spring 2013. 
Unlike Tsuru chan, he doesn't have distinct yellow color.
 

Pearl chan, the female cockatiel, was born in July 2006.

In this blog, I would like to share the photos I took.   Having grown up in Tokyo, which is filled with leisure activities, I find that living in the countryside is boring sometimes, so I always try to find something interesting in my surroundings.






(Ending)
I would be grateful if foreign tourists enjoy sightseeing spots, and also local residents enjoy their lives more.   Thank you!
