Ferme de Noël  2018

A Christmas market was held in our town :-D Stores such as handmade Christmas miscellaneous goods, antiques, botanicals, etc. were lining up, street performances such as music live were seen here and there, and it was like Christmas in a rural town in Europe. Yeaaaah ! What a very fun day ! Hug also seemed so happy, because a lot of her friend's dogs came here :-))))

クリスマスの季節が　やってきた 幸せと陽気さ　誰もが楽しい 子どもたちが大好きな　この季節

クリスマスの季節が　やってきた そこここの家族が　みんなみんな　輝いてる 一年じゅう　こんな気持ちなら　いいね ( Vince Guaraldi『Christmas time is here』より )

There's a (Spring) Riot Goin' On

I know there's a blight light

Smoldering in your heart

Now burst into flames and let the sun see it

Look up now and know it's waiting

Ignite, ignite yourself to the sky

Keep molding on to the truth

Then let's forget about tomorrow, baby

Live for today and please stay strong

Every day is our birthday, we're just babies

Ah we definitely ain't got nothing to fear

Ride this wind, let's soar and fly higher and higher!!

Autumn Sunday Marché 🍂

Hug loves the cheerful place where people gather, so the sunday marché is her favorite event🐶💛

There is always peaceful, and the joyful laughter of the children echoes.

We all wear masks😷, avoid excessive close contact as much as possible, and strive to prevent virus infection ;-)👍🏻✨

Dear my Tumblr's friends,

THANKS so much for all your kind messages and ❤️ on Hug's 10th birthday post!!🤗🙏🏻💕

She is a really really “HAPPY DOG”!!!🐾🐾

長らく中止になっていた地元の各種マルシェが、ウイルスの感染拡大防止対策をしながら、規模を縮小して少しずつ再開しています。

人が集まる場所が大好きなハグは、終始ニコニコご機嫌顔であります🐶💕☺️

でも冬に向かい、低温・乾燥とウイルスが活発化する条件が揃い始めて来ていて、こうしたイベントも今後はまたしばらく出来なくなるのかも知れないなぁと思うと淋しい限りです｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

もういっそ、このままここから抜け出せなくなってしまえればと、 いつもそんなふうに願いながら、朝の森を歩く。 君と僕のもとへ、目映く零れ落ちる光をかきわけながら。

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Memories of the day when I revisited Tokyo with Hug. Last time we went to the downtown, and this time to the central area :-)) After all… I definitely like “Tokyo Tower” than “Tokyo Sky Tree”:-D

ハグと一緒に、再び“おのぼりさん”をしてきました。 今回は汐留のパーキングに駐車し、まずは東京タワーへと向かいました。 東京タワーには、時期柄タワーの高さ333mにちなんだ色とりどりの333匹の鯉のぼりが飾られ、気持ち良さそうに風のなかを泳いでいました。やっぱりスカイツリーよりも東京タワーが好きだなぁ。。。と実感しきり (*´人｀*) その後、休日で歩行者天国になっている銀座から築地方面へ。 銀座には、個人で仕事をするようになる前に勤務していた会社があり、築地は会社員時代に長くお世話になった取引先があった場所だったので、記憶をたどり歩を進めるうちに、懐かしさがどんどんと胸にあふれてきました。隅田川からぼんやり眺める東京タワーの景色も気に入っていて、そのまま勝どきや月島方面へも歩いてみたかったんですけど、時間が足りなくて断念。。。

あと数日で、元号が令和に変わろうとしています。 いまの自分のライフスタイルを形作っていった時期である平成の30年を憶い起こすとき、なんとなくいつも小沢健二さんの歌が頭のなかで鳴りだします。ふと東京タワーを見にいきたくなったのも、そうした気分が作用していたからなのかもしれません (*´人｀*)

ハグ、そんなとりとめのない懐古旅につきあってくれてありがとう。

“ぼくらの住むこの世界では　旅に出る理由があり 誰もみな　手をふっては　しばし別れる”

そして、毎日はつづいてく。

8 years have passed since the Great East Japan earthquake. We appreciate being able to live a usual life in afternoon soft light this year as well.

Children's laughter echoes cheerfully in the park. Someone is calling someone's name... to share the tenderness warmed in the palm of hand.

And... Flowers will bloom again :-))

Ode to our Green Road #9

Beautiful flowers bloom and kindred-spirit friends gather. Someone sings a love song without lyrics, and everyone smiles and hums along its lovely melody ;-) ♪♫

The autumn Green Road is filled with such a peaceful atmosphere, and there are beautiful moments that we wish would last forever.

(I know that’s impossible, but…)

My town‘s cherry blossoms are falling. Flowers that left the tree swim in the wind and bloom beautifully once again at the ground and the surface of the water.

Just a short period of time, we stayed in a beautiful Spring dream. But no one can keep dreaming forever. Dreams will come to an end, and that is why dreams can leave a beautiful impression.

We believe that the sequel to this dream will be visible in the same place next year.

See you again :-)

美しい春の夢の続きは、また来る年に、 きっとまた、きみとこの場所で。
