Time flies, and it's already December.
The hills near my house are turning brown, giving off a late-autumn vibe.
Only one month left until next year.
I don't have anything to do, but I'm feeling a bit busy as the new year approaches.
Mid winter is just around the corner.
Until recently, I was complaining about how hot it was, but from now on, I'll probably be complaining about how cold it is.
The flu is also spreading rapidly.
I want to stay healthy.

These are sea breams I received from my sister-in-law.
They were beautiful pink and looked delicious.
The scales and internal organs had been removed , so I sprinkled some salt on them and grilled them.
They were very delicious.

Sunset on the First Day of Autumn
Autumn has arrived on the calendar yedterday.
It's about time for the mornings and evenings to cool down, but there's still no sign.
I wonder how long this heat will last ?

Green is so beautiful !
By the way, Bon Festival is just around the corner.
A priest will come to my house to read sutra and we will visit our grave during Bon Festival.
Preparing the altar and cleaning the graves makes me feel busy, but the heat (plus my age) is overwhelming and my body can't keep up.
I'm prepairing these works earlier, little by little, than I used to do all at once.
