moment







When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future.

When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.

I would prefer to enjoy the moment.....

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

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.
