In the middle of this rainy season, the 60-year-old wooden house next to ours is being pulled down to build a new home.
The demolition progress can be seen from our second floor. It is amazing!
The powerful excavator(backhoe) is scrapping the house while making a loud noise, which looks like a Godzilla is destroying a house.

Hydrangeas really show their beauty in the rainy skies.
I went to see the hydrangeas and cosmos flowers blooming in Hannay-ji
Temple in Nara.
This is a bit funny photo of Tomoko.
I mostly had cut my hair myself for the last 15 months. Although my usual beauty salon makes various efforts
to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, staying for a short time in a salon would be much safer, I thought.
I googled another beauty salon featuring
only a quick cut and found one in my area.
When I went there, as it says, the dresser
quickly cut my hair and made me leave the shop after 11 minutes.
In the sunny weather during this rainy season, I do laundry for my 100-year-old mother-in-law, who lives with my husband and me,
and hand it to her as usual.
She says, "Thank you," and begins to dry it in a good mood in the garden in front of her room in the comfortable weather.
Every time, she believes she did laundry for herself. She will turn 101 this August.
She might become the oldest healthy person in Japan.
Her memory is surprisingly short, but she
can still read papers, has good ears and appetite, and enjoys a glass of beer
every night.
She is too energetic for her age.
So, to be honest, she sometimes looks like
some strange monster.

The tough memories in her life have faded away.
Now, she is an elderly woman who lives in peace and quiet.

An annual rose ceremony took place in the
garden of the local shrine this year too.
A big bunch of roses grown in the garden
was solemnly carried to the main shrine and dedicated to praying for people to
live in peace.
Because of this current situation with the
coronavirus, it was held with a small number of priests and finished earlier
than the average.
Last Sunday, I took a walk along the river,
where many of the locals take a walk, and I do several times a week as well.
There were fewer walkers than usual in this difficult time, but to my joy, I found a group of active young men fishing here.
They seemed to be enjoying fishing at this place, which is a convenient place for them to stay away from the crowds
and spend their free time. Catching this big size carp, they were excited.
They soon returned the carp into the river after taking photos of the fish with their phones.
This one covered with road dust and dry grass seemed sad.
After walking for an hour, I got to this playground near my house. As I stood by the slide, one idea came to my mind.
It is that I take a picture of my reflection on the slide. I like this strange photo as I look slim.
The time of wisteria blooming has come.
In the early morning of the 23rd of this month, my husband and I visited the Kasuga Taisha Shrine to pray
for the first
time in the year and see the wisteria blooming in the garden of the Shrine.
đTo avoid trains expected to be crowded, we
drove to the Shrine, taking 30 minutes.
The parking lot was almost empty, and only
a few visitors were heading toward the Shrine on the long approach.
After praying and strolling the garden, we moved to the Kasuga Museum adjoining the garden of the Shrine.
Photography was allowed only on the first floor of the museum.
I decided to take the image on the screen
beautifully changing, which shows the seasonal Kasuga forest.
Perhaps, the image of the moment I took
would show the purplish color of wisteria.
After clicking the shutter, I put my camera
away in my bag and went up to the second floor, where many artifacts are displayed.
đ¸cherry blossomsđ¸
There were some rainy days in the week when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Even though the weather was changeable,
I went for a walk to see cherry blossoms several times. Many Japanese people feel like something happy will happen
when they enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms blooming at the right timing in spring. Cherry blossoms are beautiful
when they are in full bloom and fall gracefully in a short period of time. This appearance is also beautiful.
my pink umbrella reflected on the car
window
Cherry blossom petals are falling, which is the final show of the flowers.
