In this year, the cherry blossom pellets have all scattered before the end of March. I am so sorry that the cherry blossom season is very short, and could not take photos of Somei-yoshino in a full bloom at Shoto Park. It seems that the spring and the autumn are getting shorter every year. I think there should be bad effects to plants and animals if they are further shorten. In order to avoid the global warming, we should do any small things we can do. At first, I will always use an eco-bag instead of plastic bags for shoppings, and do more recycling.

In last week, I heard a voice of a Japanese bush warbler at Shoto Park. He was not good at singing, but I was happy that he did not miss to come to Shoto Park also in this year. Somei-yoshino has already turned to green fresh leaves, and some pellets are still scattering. Camellia blooming will be finished soon. Hoping calm and quiet spring days will continue as long as possible.

By the way, we will close Ro (sunken hearth) in the end of this month, and will use Furo (brazier) until the end of October. I really feel that the time flies so fast, and Furo season comes so fast. Since this month is the last month for the lessons with Ro, we are teaching the advanced lessons such as thick tea procedure with Daisu and Gyo-no-Gyo Daisu.
