Flowers of Cineraria Are In Full Bloom

It's sunny and warm day again in Utsunomiya today.
Thanks to the warm weather these days, flowers of cineraria in my room are in full bloom right now.


I walked to a shine next to my condominium. Not only cineraria but a couple of cherry trees were in full bloom.
The building behind the flowers is the condominium in which we are living.

Flower Buds of Cineraria

I went to a flower shop just in front of my condo to buy some flowers the other day. I found a grass pot that was full of flower buds. I didn’t know the name of the grass at that time, but without hesitation I bought it back. Then I put it on a same size empty glass pot and put it on a window frame at home. It seemed that the grass pot was floating in the air.

After that, I found its name, ‘cineraria’ on the web.
I’m looking forward to its flowers blooming.

It’s A Sunny Winter Day.

Last Friday, February 11th is the National Foundation Day of Japan. It was a national holiday in Japan. So, today is the final day of three-day weekends.

I wanted to do a lot of things but did little for three days. It snowed both yesterday and the day before yesterday. I just got relaxed at home for two days.

It’s a fine day today; I headed to tennis courts by car, but snow still covered the courts.
I couldn’t play tennis but trees and park fields covered with snow near the courts were beautifully shinning in the morning sun light.

It was worth visiting for me even without playing tennis.

Pigs In A Car

When I was driving on my way home from tennis courts, I happened to be behind a two-story-truck which carried lots of pigs today.
One of them was seriously staring at me for several minutes, so I was obliged to take his pictures when I stopped for traffic signals.
Of course, I didn’t know what was in his mind.
But, I felt a lot of things in my mind.

The signs behind the truck say “From Our Green Stock Farm To Your Dining Table.”
