Yesterday was Setsubun day. Setsubun day means the end of winter according to the lunar calendar.
I made Eho-maki and ate it for dinner.
I looked at the lucky direction of the year and I was thinking of my wish silently while eating.
I used a fresh salmon, a cucumber, an avocado and a simmered shiitake inside the Eho-maki.
It was snowy in the morning. When I got up and I looked out of the window the snow covered my flowers. It was powdery that's why my flowers didn't recieve damage so much.
I took the pictures in the morning.
I removed the snow after taking the pictures.
The snow melted until afternoon.
The number of flowers has increased their flowers.
I took care of my roses in the morning today.
I dug up the garden and then I shovelled the soil around my rose. I mixed new soil and fertilizer.
After that I found the buds of my hellebore. It blooms every February. We call Hellebore as "Christmas rose" but it doesn't actually bloom on Christmas. Only Hellebore niger blooms on Christmas. Here in Japan, we call all Hellebores as "Christmas rose".
I took this picture in the morning.
It's the buds of my Christmas rose.
