The Kindergarten children went to stroll today.
My son said he bring "the grass" for our cat.
In his rucksack, I saw...

$Flamingo cafe-Setaria viridis


A setaria viridis.
I became happy because he became a tender boy (for our cats and maybe other every creatures).


My son have wanted N-gage(toy train) "Fujisan-tokkyu" for long time.
He saw real the train yesterday.
So We bought it and gave him today.
He was very pleased!!
But we can't understand the charm of the train.
Flamingo cafe-grapes


I went to grapes picking to Katsunuma, Yamanashi with my husband and my son.
The Chuo-line, Kaiji express was fast and comfortable.
The man in the farm picked us up from the station to the farm by the car.
We had BBQ under the grapes tree trellis at first (the sauce of BBQ the farmer's wife made was very nice!), and picked the grapes!
They just harvested were very fresh and delicious!

Pickle pot


My mother had come our house to sit for my son (a grandson for her) during I went to meeting of mothers of kindergarten(I really have to go frequently!).
After I came back home, I talked with her and surprised to hear that she keeps the salted rice-bran paste for pickling that my grandmother(a mother-in-law for her) used.
I asked her to bring a little piece of it when she come next time.
My granma often made the Japanese white radish pickled.
We had it with dried bonito shavings and soy sauce.
I loved it and ate even rice with it how many!
So that I expect to pickle vegetables with it.
