From my morning mini-walk
The spiders didn’t expect this to happen to their houses. Are they happy to see all this morning dew? …I am!! Sorry, spiders…. (from my morning mini-walk)

Blueglass on sunny day
Another gorgeous sunny day!! Walking my neighborhood. This year’s hydrangeas are finally starting to bloom (in late of July!). I would like to listen to some more bluegrass because to me it has a very sunny feeling. David Grisman! Classic!!

“ The fire hydrant muscle”.
I learned about TFL, the muscle located on the upper thigh, in Anatomy class. It is used to lift the thigh to the side and has the nickname “ the fire hydrant muscle”. I didn’t get it during class, so I asked the teacher later.
A-Ha!
Dogs show good examples of this muscles action when they see firehydrants :-)!!

"Light As a Feather" by RTF
"Light As a Feather" by RTF for a beautiful sunny day!
I may have listened to this album more than 620 times ( **times/year X ** years =620 ), but it is as fresh today as when I first listened to it. Great album!!

March thoughts 3-11-2011
A gentle ray from the March sun, the comfortable crisp air contains a touch of warmth. I crouch down and watch dewdrops on a crocus petal. I rush to grab my camera. I am so gratefl that there are such moments in my daily life. Just having this moment...
I was visiting my family in Japan from the beginning of Febreary. I left there just two days before of the massive earthquake.The shocking feeling of a “narrow escape” also impacts on a person greatly. Fortunately our family and friends in Japan are safe. But there are people whose precious moments-such small joys, like enjoying the beauty of nature in their daily lives -were taken away in a matter of seconds.The destruction of this 9.0 quake was more than we can imagine I am praying for the people in the quake/tsunami-hit area.

Winter Solstice
Do you have any customs in your culture on the longest night of the winter solstice? The winter solstice is called “Toji” in Japanese. In Japan the custom is to eat kabocha ( pumpkin) and to take a hot citron bath, called "YUZU-YU" . Yuzu is a small citrus fruit. Both are rich in vitamins and help us to not catch a cold. The yuzu trees in my Grandpa’s garden in Japan should be bearing a lot of fruit now. I would like to bathe in yuzu tub and breathe in hot steam with the scent of citrus!
