corner view / Spring

It's sakura (cherry blossom) season in Japan!

People go to park to have "hanami" which is the time when people view

and appreciate the short-lived cherry flowers. People gather to celebrate and

have a picnic feast/party under the cherry blossom trees.

See above for what to bring for "hanami party".

Don't forget to bring a garbage bag!

Enjoy! xox

Carrot

Does anyone grow vegetables inside?

I grow indoor carrots! This is my first time...

Their leaves are still tiny and their roots just started growing out..

I enjoy looking at them every morning.

They make me feel so refreshed!

Hope you have a great weekend! xo

I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep.

If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures.

Thank you so much for the lovely gift, Chialin!

Bluish purple

Lovely Joanne asked me about Hyacinth which I bought and posted on my blog a while ago. It was bluish purple Hyacinth!!!! I took some pictures when it bloomed but I totally forgot about posting them... Thank you for reminding me, Joanne!

It's another sunny and beautiful day today.

Hope you enjoy the day! xo

corner view / "tea companion" instead

I am so behind in blog posts and sorry for the delay!

The theme of corner view last week was "coffee companion" but I don't drink coffee, so I switched to "tea companion".

Daifuku is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi stuffed with sweetened read bean paste and this is one of my favorite Japanese sweets!

Please check out more corner views!

PS. It is supposed to rain all weekend but Spring is here!

Have a great weekend everyone! xo

Goodbye snow

It's snowing again and I am getting tired of this kind of weather.

It's almost Spring time and snow doesn't feel fresh to me anymore.

Hope the sun comes out and Spring arrives here soon!

A package from France

I received a beautiful handmade scarf and bookmark a few days ago.

I wore this scarf today and it kept me very warm in this cold weather.

Thank you so much, Claire! I feel so touched..

She has some amazing sewing and knitting skills, and I am always inspired by her work!

Have a great weekend, everyone! xox
