今日は中秋の名月
勝浦市内のお菓子屋さんにお月見
のお団子を注文
ススキはスーパーで買えばいいかなと思い、夕方行ってみたら…ない😧
どこかの草むらから数本失礼しようかと車を走らせてみたものの…
もうすでに日は暮れて、辺りがよく見えない😬
あった！と思ってもみちのまん中で突然車を止めるわけにもいかず
諦めてセブンイレブンにでも寄って帰ろうと、駐車場に車を停めてみたら目の前に
なんとススキが大量に置いてある
奇跡のような出来事🥹
近所の人たちがススキを持って帰って行きます
僕たちもお店の人に声をかけて2本ほどいただいてきました
大喜びでうちに帰ってお月見
しかし電気のない昔の人にとっては、お月様って有り難いものだったんだろうなぁ
自然への感謝
とあの空の彼方へ旅立って行った人たちに思いを馳せました🕊
門之助🤞
Harvest moon today.
We ordered special dumplings for moon viewing from a sweet shop in downtown Katsuura.
And because we couldn’t find susuki for decoration ( probably all sold out) at a supermarket, we decided to find and get some at roadside.
But as we drove down, it started to get dark and was not easy to find one.
Or even if we could find, it was not possible to stop in the middle of a road.
We ended up giving up susuki and stopped by a Seven Eleven to get something to eat.
Then there was a bucket full of susuki right in front of a parking lot we stopped the car.
And neighbors were there to pick some up.
Miracle!
We were so happy to be able to take several susuki home as well.
Had a wonderful moon viewing night.
Come to think of the ancient time without electricity, I can easily imagine how much they appreciated the moonlight.
We enjoyed the beautiful moon with appreciation for the nature and thinking of the people beyond the sky.
