@はやとものかず Thank you. Now when I drive, My eyes are so big to find flowers ~. One day, I can find a flower. I park at the close parking lot and walk, take pics of today’s flower. It’s the new system for me. You know~ My weight is not full enough today(96 pounds ~). I am healthy with good appetite. I can skip walking. Still I like swimming for 30 minutes every day. Nice to talk to you. Good day together! See U with smile 😊 I saw your photo…your Chibi-chan must be happy in peace. She always think of you. 🎀

@花♡♡華 Thank you. I saw this beside the road while I was driving. I was with this for a while. It was windy day~~you know. (yuryura)swinging all the time. Everyday is coming. I hope you have a good weekend. with smile 😊
@はやとものかず Thank you for a comment. I watched back your photos(3/18~21 2022). Enjoyable 💕 We have a good day together! …I eat yogurt with grapes(black one). I like this recently ~. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Thank you for looking at my old photos 😉👍🎶 I eat yogurt every day, but I also eat a lot of eggs 🐣 The price of eggs has risen lately 😥 The cause is bird flu and war 😓 I hope peace will come soon 😥
@はやとものかず I know…I saw the price of the eggs ~ Suddenly 3 times more expensive! Surprised It’s the first time! (bikkuri desu)🐶 I will go to the market to see the price of the eggs soon. I do not need to go shopping ~ food etc. only I really need something. Healthy life. Active day. Eating nicely. Sleeping well. We had daytime savings today. It’s spring. Still I walk to see a daily flower to post. ☔️It’s raining ~ Have a great day! See you tomorrow. with smile😊
@ゴン Thank you for a comment. I saw your best friend…Gon-kun?! I guess ~ Lovely We will have a nice time together on GS. Shall we go for it! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Thank you for the cute narcissus 🌸 Even if the price of eggs rises, I want to eat them every day 🐣😋 Prices of many things have increased 😥 Rapid price increases are not desirable 😥
@はやとものかず I know~. How about electric fee? Terribly high. Especially in winter season. Almost 50% more expensive now. Everything is come from Gas fee in the world. My house has central heating. Always 70f I am wearing short pants and t-shirt… Main thing … it’s difficult to go out to adjust the outdoor temperature. One more month?! We will feel better of the temperature. Nice to talk to you. Have a great day! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) My electricity bill has doubled 😥 I only use the air conditioner in the morning 😥 In America, many banks have gone bankrupt ❓😥 I'm worried ❓😥
@はやとものかず That’s sort of right. They do on purposely. And build a new one. Really! It’s not here, but in Japan,too. Well~ gas fee is becoming higher and higher. That’s why. 😵💫 You show nice photos. Lovely 💕 Have a nice day. See U tomorrow. Eat nicely, having light exercise and sleep well! See U tomorrow. with smile
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Tokyo has announced that cherry blossoms will bloom 🌸 😅 High prices are a tragedy 😥 The cherry blossoms are happy 🌸 😃💕 Let's wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom 🌸 🌸 🌸 😍
@はやとものかず Our spring has come. My best friend, she is going to “Chidorigafuchi” to see cherry blossoms. Our high school and college are very close to get there. 😊 I do not see Japanese cherry blossoms here. I will enjoy them from GS posts. Have a great day! See U tomorrow.

@Yumiko (California U.S.A) 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 This year's cherry blossom forecast is very early 🌸 Maybe it's because of global warming ❓😥 Severe summer is coming again ☀️😵💦 Let's prepare for it 😅

Everyday miso-soup with seaweed(wakame misoshiru/negi)👍 One episode…in shogunate era, miso helped the people and kept them healthy. You take~ daily ~ Nice to talk to you. See you tomorrow
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Fresh blackberries are delicious, aren't they ❓😋 Today's toast was made with blueberry jam 😋 I'm going to drink sugar-free coffee with milk ☕🐮😋 Let's do our best today too 💪😉
@はやとものかず Sounds good! I watched your photos(3/10~15th 2022)…miss Chibi-chan. One year ago photos ~ nice ones! It’s almost one month~since you missed her. Still go for our lives. Time passes so fast. Have a great day! See you tomorrow. Smile as usual 😊

@はやとものかず I know…long time a go~ Mr. Nagashima “Kyojingun wa eien ni humetsu desu” When it was~. I was not a fun of sports watching in those days. However I was watching baseball game on Mr.Nagashima period with my mother(She loves). How is today in Japan! Impressed All young boys~ big boys like American boys. I am proud of that. GS friends asked me “USA/Japan, which do you cheer?” I might have answered “Of course Japan🇯🇵” 🤞 Nice to talk to you. Still have a great day. See you tomorrow! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Yesterday was a dramatic come - from - behind victory ⚾🇯🇵✌️ The final match against America is coming soon ⚾😅 I'm looking forward to cheering for you 👊😄📢

@はやとものかず I saw your photos. Cherry blossoms ‘Somei-yoshino’ My town is the origin of this flower. ‘Somei-douri’/ it’s a sort of what we call (Shouten-gai)desu 🐶 Only 15m~ wide road~ long and lots of shops both side of the road. I was growing up there. All around my houses will be full blooming(Early April). Your place…much earlier! 🌸 Have a great day. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Somei Yoshino appeared at the end of the Edo period 🌸😅 It is a mistake for Somei Yoshino to appear in period dramas 😅🌸 Somei Yoshino is vulnerable to illness 😥 It seems that he will replace Jindai Akebono 🌸❓😥
@はやとものかず That’s right. I read about it. You can see cherry blossoms…today! How nice. ‘Sakura zensen’…it will take one more week~ to get my place in Japan. Are you enjoying?! I hope I will be able to see spring flowers from now. I am anxious to see. ‘tekuteku arukimasu’🐶 Have a nice day as usual! with smile
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) It's Sunday but the weather is bad ☔😥 Unfortunately, it's not the weather for cherry blossom viewing 🌸🆖 The weather also affects the flowering of cacti 🌵🌸☀️😥 I feel sunny 💖☀️
@はやとものかず I see~ right, it depends the weather. Well ~ I am fine with rain because we will not be able to have it after April ~. When I moved here(2016 July)I have not had any rain till October. I asked several people “no rain at all ?”…they just “oh yeah as usual”😵💫 California in the blue sky! They say Very soon…it will be sunny everyday. I hope you have a good day. You do show nice photo everyday. Let’s go for tomorrow together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) The climate changes in each country and region ☔☀️ In Japan, with the exception of Hokkaido, it rains a lot before summer ☔☔☔ Flood damage also occurs 😰 It's scary if it rains a lot at once 😱 But it's sunny today I will 🌸☀️😅
@はやとものかず I know…right now, we will have flood caution weather soon🥺 I wonder what I can do for walking… Well I have done several times😝 Wearing heavy rain jacket and pants. I wear golf shoes. Caps & hood. 🤛 Anyway go for it. Photo in rain is also enjoyable to me! with smile Let’s have a good day together! See U tomorrow. 🌸
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) It's been a wonderful day since the morning 🌄 ☀️ The cherry blossoms are going to be in full bloom 🌸 ☀️ 🌸 I want to go out to see the cherry blossoms 🌸🌸🌸😍 Have a nice day today 🌸😉
