Feb. 24 - Japanese White-eye coming to our apricot tree

Our Japanese apricot tree is in full bloom now. 

Upon coming back from the clinic I visit every month, I saw two birds of the Japanese White-eye came to the tree for flower nectors this morning.  I felt lucky because I had a compact camera in my shoulder bag then.

 

 

Spring is the season which school year begins in Japan.

 

I am not a student anymore, but it is the season to start something new.

 

I will be 49 years old next month, but I still wish to enrich my life in a better way. 

I don't mean to try hard, though.

 

The most important issue is eating properly, enjoying exercises,

and good sleeep to maintain be in good shape.

I don't want to make crazy schedule myself.

 

Some tutors suggested that I should read English article more to improve my English skills.

However, I find it very difficult to get good books which catch my attention.

 

Being a housewife in the countryside, I don't use English in my daily life,

much less any opportunity to discuss political / economical issues in English.

 

If I study such kind of materials, I really don't enjoy myself.

I believe that if I really don't like to, it doesn't make fruit.  

 

Instead, I would like to have seasonal enjoyment in the countryside.

 

We can enjoy apricot trees in February, and cherrry trees in April.

 

I would like to be surrounded with various seasonal joys

which flowers and wild birds bring to our life.
