Container Gardening part III

今回はガーデニングトークパート３です。

今日は冬至日ですから私の冬コンテナガーデンを紹介します ♡  冬至日は一番日が短いですよね。でもどんどん日が長くと明るくなると思います ！

Today is the winter solstice (the shortest day of the year) so I though it’s a good time to introduce my winter container garden.  Even though it’s getting colder, the days will start to get longer and lighter!!

コンテナガーデンには、パンジーと葉牡丹植え込みました！！　色々な色が見えるは楽しいですよね ♫　この花は寒さや雪が降るこの時期でも大丈夫です 。

This container has a mixture of pansies and ornamental kale in shades of red, purple and white.  Both are cold resistant and even look lovely in the snow.♡

あぁ！！　金曜日は雪が降ってましたね。お店の前に白鳥が飛んで来ました！　この前はご夫婦来ました、だけど今回は５羽の白鳥が飛んで来ました！！  

On Friday it snowed a little, and the swans came to visit Hair Innovation again.  This time it wasn’t just a swan couple–5 swans came to visit!!

🦢 Happy  Winter Solstice🦢

part 2:Tsuwano

今回は津和野のご紹介です！

この日は天気がとても良かったです。　鯉が本当にいっぱいで大きくてびっくりして見てました。

When we visited Tsuwano, the weather and atmosphere were completely different from Hagi.  A bright blue sky and sunshine made walking along the quaint main street of Tsuwano very enjoyable.  Of course we also saw many carp!!

太皷谷稲成神社と永明寺も行きました。　太皷谷稲成神社は1000の鳥居があります！　永明寺は珍しい茅葺き屋根があります！　それと紅葉がとてもキレイでした🍁

We also walked to both Taikodani Inari Shrine and Yomei-ji Temple, located at either end of the town. We walked through many vermillion torii winding up to Taikodani Inari, which looked stunning against the hills. It was very tranquil and peaceful at Yomei-ji Temple.  Its unique thatched roof also looked beautiful against the changing colors of the leaves.

最後は津和野城にリフトで向かいました！！　
津和野城も今は城跡だけどとても美しい眺めでした♡

Finally, we rode a lift and hiked a little to see the remains of Tsuwano castle. The view of Tsuwano far below was breathtaking!!

part 1:Hagi

今回は萩市のご紹介です！

私の両親がアメリカから遊びに来ていました。

先日、両親が前から行きたいと言っていた萩に行ってきました。萩焼の見学をした後萩城跡に行きました。とても雰囲気のある所で猫もすごいいっぱいいます！！猫好きのお父さんは喜んでいました！

次は有名な松陰神社に行きました「上中写真」。機会があれば行って見て下さい。

My father has wanted to visit Hagi and Tsuwano, so we all went on a short trip!  Hagi had a castle ruled by the Mori clan during the Edo period in Japan, but now there are only ruins.  Although the castle grounds are vast and lovely, the day we visited, the weather was cloudy and gloomy.  There were also very few people, but many stray cats.  This gave the castle grounds a mysterious, haunted atmosphere.

Before I came to live in Japan, I read a little bit about the Bakumatsu period in Japan. I was really excited to see the shrine (top center photo) that includes the school where Yoshida Shouin-San taught many of the future leaders of the Meiji era!!

次は津和野のご紹介です「Next will be our visit to Tsuwano!」

Happy HALLOWEEN!!

Jenniferです🎃

明日はハロウィンですね！！　ハロウィンは私の二番目に大好きな日です。私の一番目は「メーデー」ですね  😉　

October 31st is Halloween!!  It’s my 2nd favorite day of the year after May Day 🌷. 

私は三歳からハロウィンをお祝いしています。毎年、お母さんの手作りコスチュームを来てから弟くんと一緒に町トリック・オア・トリートへ行っていました！！　すごい楽しかった思い出がいっぱいあります。

I’ve been celebrating Halloween since I was 3 years old.  Every year, my mom made costumes for my brother and I, and we went trick-or-treating together in our neighborhood.  I have so many great memories!!

今年もちろんコスプレしました！！毎年、松江のポートベローでハロウィンパーティーがあります♪

Each year there is a Halloween Party at Port Below on the last Saturday of the month, so of course I dressed up to celebrate!

Many people came in costumes, so I was very happy!!  Mr. K and I went as Roger and Jessica Rabbit from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

来年のハロウイン待ってま〜す♡
