Good mornevening, Yuming ! 😄👌 Watching 'Spider Lily', the spider-like petals totally remind me of Spider-Man ! 🕷️🕸️🦸♂️🤔🤗 Oni-chang have never seen this flower before. It looks like hamayuu or crinum, which are in the same amaryllis family ! 🧐🤭 In Japan🇯🇵, Spider Lily is called "Himeno karisu" .🤔 The name "Hymenocallis" comes from the combination of two Greek words: "hymen" (membrane) and "kalos" (beautiful). It is derived from the "beautiful cup" (cup-like crown) in the center of the flower, which is formed by the stamens connected by a membrane. Because its petals stretch out long and thin like spider legs, it is called the "spider lily" in English🇬🇧. Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️

Good evening! ☺️✨ The Spider Lily... 🤍🤍 I wonder if those long, slender parts—pure white and resembling spider legs—are actually the petals? Did you come across it while out for a walk? ❓️ Thank you for sharing this with us. 🐰💗
@ユミ Good morning! What a great experience you had! Someway~ it’s not easy to ~ go, I can guess. 👌good job(yatta ne)🫶 The people so love to climb mountains…is like the feeling that you had this time. The mountain climbers say “the mountain is calling me, that’s why I will climb the mountain” it is today. Long time a go~ they said “ we climb the mountain because there is the mountain”>(soko ni Yama ga arukara noboru) >Because it’s there. 💕 You had a nice day. Take cake of your muscular pain(kinniku tu)😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Ok~ now you we’re ready to go for a trip. Looks like Haneda~ Tokyo trip +~ I guess. Have a good trip and good sleep anyway,anywhere. ☝️ Good day together! 😊
@節子 Good morning! Thank you for a message. Sorry for your roses in your garden. In my garden, all roses are blooming so nicely. Yellow, white, pink,red,burgundy,and mixed color ones. I am enjoying. And I am busy for trimming everyday. Let’s have a good day together! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😊😄👌 It takes 14 hours and 35 minutes from Haneda Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, so I plan to eat my meal and sleep soundly on the plane. ✈️🇯🇵→🇫🇷 🍱🍷😴💤 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ユミ Good morning! Thank you for a message. You had a nice trip. You will finish rainy season 🔜. And it will be hot summer. Take care of yourself. Here at my place~ 37°C now~ Let’s go for a good day together!😊
There are so many different varieties of lilies, aren't there? So, spider lilies are blooming at your home too, Yumi? That’s lovely. At my place, the pineapple lily is just starting to bloom from its buds. ☺️✨
@ユミ Thank you for a message. That’s right. It’s again today,too. I will not change ~ from now. It’s heated every day. Just stay home. …only the garden work…I will finish till noon 🕛! Let’s go for a nice day together! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. Can I tell you~ 95% flowers of my photography is come from the place where I visited. No guess~. If I take photos and post it, I will let you know. It’s very rare. This flower came from my friend’s garden. She called me and I visited her house. … talk stories for several minutes. I thank to them and gave a tiny gift. Friendship 💕 We will have a nice day! 😊
@太陽の塔 How nice! You are having your enjoyable life after you retired. I envy you. We supposed to have our fantastic time after his retirement. However ~ it is not going well. Life! He is still surviving. I say thank to 🙏. I will tell one ☝️ story. It was 2/19. 2023. He started feeling terrible of his intestines. #911 It was 3:40am~ 10:40am he had a surgery. Almost died. Any 💰 and ICU (Shyuchu chiryoushitsu). After the surgery, the main doctor called me, “I am sorry ~ his blood pressure is now pretty low 80-39.” >> the sign of death I went to the hospital. ~ long talk. I fainted(kizetsu). Special treatment. I can talk ~ more. Later~ maybe Anyway. Once we have surgery, it will be not so easy to come to our normal life. We will have to think of our health. REALLY! We will take care of ourselves. I think you will have a nice plan to go for a trip. Enjoyable 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) The spider lily is a cut flower from a friend's garden. It's wonderful that you received it! Connecting through flowers creates such lovely bonds, doesn't it? Got it—I understand: just a quick snap of the photo 📱✨, and that the flower was snipped ✂️. 🐰💗
Good evening! ☺️✨ It’s been so hot lately that I’ve actually moved my flowers to the garage. Since you enjoy gardening too, Yumi-san, I can totally relate. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! Good evening for U. No worries. No pressure. Everyday is coming. I had had a stress with the swimmers at my time. 🙄 I had 3 day stomachache to think of them. *them/ they are ‘lesbian’. This is 🇺🇸. To be continued ~ I will talk about it later. It’s getting hot. Take care of yourself. with smile 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Good evening! ☺️✨ It was sweltering today; I tried to get some watering, rose care 🌹, and weeding done in the garden, but I didn't make much progress. 😮💨💦 The blazing sun ☀ took a toll on some of my potted flowers, too, so I moved a few of them into the garage. As for the situation with your swimming buddy—that sounds like a tricky one. 😨
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I understand what you felt. One day … 2024 in May. I was trimming roses 🌹 in my garden, I look up and trim ~ suddenly the ☀️ sun hit my eyes. And I fell down immediately. Almost #911. I passed out for a while. ~~. I came back after 10 minutes or so. If it had been hart attack, I would die. Life is such a kind of. How is your day! Keep being healthy! with smile 😊
When I’m tending to my roses, I tend to lose track of the heat and the time. On hot days like this, though, there’s a real risk of heatstroke. I’ve started using a cooling vest with a built-in fan recently, and the cool breeze really helps bring down my body temperature. Let’s all be careful out there!
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. You have been taking care of your garden! It’s great. I just right now~ trimming ~ and watering. That it. In the morning. Let’s go for a good day together! 😊
That's right. Every day, after watering the flowers, vegetables, trees, and fruit trees, I also tend to the roses 🌹. By the time I get around to it after breakfast, it’s already hot, and I end up drenched in sweat. 🤭
By tending to the flowers every day, I can tell which ones are damaged and which are about to bloom, so I can sometimes take preventive measures. It got so hot that I moved a few of the potted plants to the garage area; some of them had actually been scorched by the blazing sun. 😨💦
Exactly. Even with daily care, after watering during the heat of the day, the surface soil would dry out by evening, leaving the flowers completely wilted 😣💦💦 I ended up moving quite a few of them into the garage 🦆
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I know…I can tell ~ two days ago, I gave a plenty water in my garden. 🙄today, the soil is already cracked…it means “give me water, pls”. I do for one hour. Everyday is coming. We will keep going. 👍
Hello! 👋😃 You're right—they probably do need frequent watering. I went out for morning coffee ☕ with my husband, and when I saw these sunflowers 🌻 with such gentle colors, I snapped a photo. 📱💥 🐰❤
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ It’s hot day and night? …humidity, right. That’s Japan at this time at your place. Here there is no humidity. Dry. Just hot! Because it’s summer. We will have a good day! 😊
Hello! 👋😃 I’m at a nearby shopping mall right now. It’s nice and cool inside—I’ve completely forgotten about the heat—and I’m just wandering around doing some window shopping. I’m taking a little time for myself while my husband gets a haircut. 🤭
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your sharing story.😊 It is a wonderful story！🤗 Oni-chang believe your husband, who was close to death😇, came back to life💪 because of your devoted care.💦🤝🌞✌️😭👏👏👏
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice! It’s smart to go out stores. It’s cool~. Enjoyable My friend said, “I like to go to the theatre to watch a movie” … it’s good idea. We will have a good day ! 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely 💕 I have been still taking care of him rest of his life. I hope I will not go die earlier than he. Who knows? Life is the such a kind of. Let’s have a good day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !🤗 Oni-chang think you will live a long life because you walk every day🚶♀️, swim every day🏊♀️, and watch your diet.🥗😋💦👌 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. I understand what you told me. Yes. I am healthy. I will go for my life. However I do not want live so long~ till 78 years old. ✌️I will be ok. I have no will live longer. Good knows, when we were born, when we die/they say. We will be always together! 😊
The lunch spot I had planned to visit yesterday was packed—they’re offering special low prices to celebrate their opening until the end of the month—so I gave up on it and went to a place I often visit with friends instead. We ended up spending several hours there, enjoying a meal and a lively conversation. 🥰
Oh, absolutely—you definitely have to watch out for overeating! The lunch menu is reasonably priced, and the portions are satisfying. I went with the yakiniku set, which included stone-bowl bibimbap, soup, salad, a small side of eggplant dengaku, a platter of three types of meat with vegetables, and almond tofu for dessert. It was a really substantial meal.🐰❤
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. Still~ it will be over weight. Because it is the lunch! Ok~ after the lunch, you will have no appetite for dinner, right? Not eat sweets ~ Like American 🇺🇸! 😁 Life … enjoying food, always, but~ you know~ Unless you gain, you will be ok. Keep being healthy! 😊
That’s right. Whenever we have yakiniku, the rice goes down so easily, but for years now, we’ve kept our portions to less than half a bowl at home. When eating out, I make sure to order a small size. Overeating puts a strain on the stomach later on and isn't good for your health, after all. 🫣 Gotta stay healthy! 🐰❤
@太陽の塔 Thank you say so~ 😉I hope so. You know~ one day is perfect 👍 and another day I have a sensitive stomachache. ~~~I go to the club for relaxing. Recently Two ladies(you guess). One lady is very talkative(miss.T)she is 56 years old. Another lady(miss.J)she is 63 years old. T said “we have living together for 29 years. Shy(J)is my wife😟. Both of us retired to work at prison for 30 years.”… … 🤓I wonder what a kind of these women. Unusual. Rare. Not known these people before~ Anyway ~ they show up every morning at my time all over around me. They like me. 😔I had been struggling for these one month. See~ I started my stomachache. Last week I changed my time. My stomach will be today ok. Am’ t I so sensitive? But I can’t. I will let you know~ this week. Life ~ I like to have a good time with nice sports people at my club. *these ladies especially miss. T is always having a fight with the another’s. Especially to the men. We say~ “just stay out of them”. 👌 I will let you know~ later Sorry~ I talked about a stupid story. 🙇♀️ We will have a good day! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. Well~. Let me talk about my food situation ~today~. I do not eat ham, sausage, 🥓 bacon. I rarely have red meat 🥩, Pork. (I like to eat…) I have Pork Ribs and Kerean Beef(you know). I have Sukiyaki thin beef once for a while. *regularly I have chicken breast & tenderloin. For any meals. Mainly I will not push you what to eat~ but. Think of what kind of meal you will go for the rest of your life. Let’s go for a good day! 😊
@太陽の塔 Today…now, I feel much better. I did not have any medicines. I will be 👍 ok. Life! Everyone has his(her) own life. Like one person likes this food, but the other person doesn’t like this food, and likes that food. Something like that! Time solves everything. I will wait for ~ Thank you for listening 👂. Peace ✌🏻
Good evening! 🌃✨ Each type of meat has its own unique benefits: "Pork is rich in Vitamin B1 (which aids in fatigue recovery), high-quality protein (essential for building muscle and skin), and iron (which helps prevent anemia), making it highly effective for maintaining a healthy body and promoting beauty." "As for chicken, the breast is a great choice; it’s high in protein and low in fat—ideal for dieting and muscle maintenance—while also offering fatigue-recovery and antioxidant properties." "And beef offers excellent benefits for building muscle, recovering from fatigue, and preventing anemia." They all have so much to offer! 🥰
I don't eat meat all week long; instead, I incorporate fish and vegetables and try to include Japanese-style simmered dishes as much as possible. When cooking, I aim for mild flavors—keeping the sweetness moderate and the salt content low. ☺️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Is that how it was? Yuming are quite popular with single women, aren't you? We live in an age of gender, but Oni-chang don't really understand it myself. 🤔😟 I think it's better to be clear if you're not interested, but relationships are important too.🙂 It is good to keep a close eye on the situation🙈 and handle things with conviction if anything comes up. You have done nothing wrong, so let's move forward with confidence.😄 If anything happens, please contact me. I am your older brother👱♂️, so I will help you.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely,bro I am fine. I have a started new strategy at the club. I usually swim and walk. I switched ~ walk and swim. ~ I do not see them(T&J)at all. Life is a such a kind of.👍 No stress. Thanks bro! What are you going to do today? You go for walk ~ ?! 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) That's right. I try to include chicken dishes as often as possible—things like karaage, oyakodon, yakitori, and chicken simmered in a sweet-and-salty sauce. Once in a while during the week, I’ll use pork or make a fish dish. Fish has been expensive lately, though, so I’ve been using canned fish too. ☺️
On hot days, appetite tends to drop, so I try to get creative with meals—preparing dishes that are easy to swallow or using summer vegetables in Japanese-style cooking. It was a hot day today, too; we really have to take care of our health. Good night. 😴💤💤
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. Right now~ I would like to Green beans.(ingen) I have the cold ones everyday. Do you like it? Tomatoes 🍅 I used to have always ~ I do not know~ recently after I eat tomatoes, I feel stomach upset. See~ I have loved tomatoes for a long time, today~ I just take a rest to have it. Favorite food is also changing. right? I will have more food to control my weight. ⬆️! Have a good day. 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ That would be a good thing for you to do so. 🤗😄👌 If you walk more, you will have more chances to see flowers.🌺🏵️🌼🌸 Today, August 7th, is Risshu(立秋). According to the traditional calendar, it marks the beginning of autumn.😊🍂🍁 It is still far from autumn flower season in Japan🇯🇵. It is so hot🥵 that we cannot even go out for a walk.🚶💦🙅♀️ I am watching the summer high school baseball tournament at Koshien Stadium.⚾️🏟️📣📣📣🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne.👋
Exactly. There are just those things you get an irresistible craving for, aren't there? I love green beans, so I used to grow them in my garden. These days, I keep frozen ones in the freezer—they're delicious served as a side dish with meat or dressed with sesame sauce 😋🍴💕 There are so many ways to enjoy them, like in tempura or added to a cream stew. As for tomatoes 🍅, nothing beats biting right into a whole one after working in the garden. Though, if you eat them every day... well, you might just lose the craving for a while 🦆 I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for all your hard work today. 🍀
@太陽の塔 Good morning! 🌞 It’s hot summer. I do not feel hot because I have been in the house. House central air conditioning/ sets 72f all the time. How are you? I walked this morning as usual ~ I am happy to go for a day! with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. My body~ eventually coming back with normal conditions. I had no nervous stomachache for three days at all. 😁 I am happy. I will have a doctor check in a couple of weeks. I will talk about stomachache thing to my Dr. Long time a go, while my partner was in a hospital for a month, I had a bad one. And Dr. sent me to check all my stomach ~ intestines. 👍no problem It came back again since this January. 😔(kirikiri)stomach. You know~ I take O’tha’s Isan. In a three minutes, stomachache will have gone. It’s the super medicine from Japan. However I can’t depend on this one everyday. Basically I do not take special medicine, except my medication. We should take medicine as less as we can. “0” is the perfect 🤩 Take care of ourselves. We are no more young girls! with smile 😊
It’s good that the Ohta's Isan is working, but since it might be nervous gastritis, getting a doctor's diagnosis would certainly give you peace of mind. I wonder if worries about your husband have taken a toll on your stomach? I hope the pain goes away as you keep an eye on things. 🍀 Please take good care of yourself. 🐰❤
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😆👌 Even though autumn has officially begun, it is still too hot to go for a walk outside.☀️🥵💦🚶🙅♀️ 🎶Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow ! You're always a day away !🎶👧🏤🎵 I am preparing for the play 'Annie' which I am going to see on the public holiday of August 11th.🌞✌️ Maido, Oh-kini !😄🤗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. lovely Yes. These two days ~ I had no stomachache. See~ something phycological thing caused it. Fortunately I will have a Dr. Appointment next week. I will have a blood test this week. I will see. Dr. Check every season. I like it. Everything is good for you! I am ok. Good day together! 💕
I'm glad you didn't have any stomach pain. That's right—psychological issues can change significantly depending on your mindset. 😅 Please try to keep a calm and peaceful state of mind. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I am ok, right now~. I am weak of stress. No appetite ~ I lost lots of pounds for 4 days. 😢I saw 93.5 pounds two days ago. I fixed today. I have now 96.3 pounds. Ok! 👍 I will have a nice meal soon. Chicken breast/ spaghetti Miso soup/seaweed, Okura, green onions with One ☝️ egg in the soup. ~ I think I am hungry. You have a great day! 😊
Once your appetite returns, you'll be fine! 😆🎵🎵 You need to get some good nutrition and get back to feeling your best. I think I might have a seafood bowl today. Lately, fried foods have been hard on my stomach, so I'm trying to stick to Japanese cuisine as much as possible. Yumi-san, please take it easy and enjoy a relaxing, peaceful time. 🐰♥️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !🤗👌 Do Yuming ever take overnight trips ?⛰️ Are you a day tripper ?🤔😄🤭🚃 Maido, Oh-kini. ✈️🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a lovely message. 💕 Yes. I gained 3 pounds for 2 days. I have 97 pounds today. I went to the grocery store and bought, potato salad, green beans and fresh Sourdough bread 🥖. 👌 I will eat ~. And eat. I will let you know> how much I will have my weight tomorrow! 🙃 Thank you for your listening to me. I was having a hard time for these 3 weeks. I don’t say~. I was in the bed. 💕
@太陽の塔 Thank your asking. Yes. I moved here in 2016. With being Covid-19~. My partner had a stroke in 2020. In Covid period. After that I couldn’t go anywhere and just took care of my partner ~ wheel chair ~. *you do not know anything After that~ I went to San Francisco for two day stay by myself at my parents best friend’s hotel.(honer). I did not tell The GS friends, when I was in San Francisco. For three times. All I can go for a small trip is going to San Francisco. I have my driver. Right now, I have no will to go~. I am happy enough to stay where I am. No will to go to Japan right now. Is this ok 👌 We will go for tomorrow! 😊
You were really struggling emotionally during those three weeks, weren't you? You don't have to talk about things you'd rather not share. However, holding onto those unsettled feelings inside can lead to stress-induced gastritis. It’s great that you’re able to find some relief now. 🍀🐰♥️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for the detailed explanation of your trip.🚙🌉👌 Oh, Oni-chang see, the San Francisco hotel belonged to the Hilton chain.🏨🙆♀️ How was your 3-day, 2-night trip to San Francisco ?🌉🌌 It’s great to hear that you love the lifestyle, climate, and people in California where you live now. That’s what matters most.🏝️🏊♀️🚶📸🌞✌️ 🎶 The sun'll come out Tomorrow So you gotta hang on ’Til tomorrow Come what may Tomorrow tomorrow I love ya tomorrow You're always a day away 🎶👧🐶
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. lovely Yes. I had been struggling for the past 3~ 4 weeks. These 3 days, I feel my body came back. When I was really sick ~ how can I say? I just turned my devices and stayed in the bed. It’s the sort of our life. Not 100 % always ~ good. + with our age. I am not a young lady. 🥲 We will take care of ourselves. And go for a good day together! 💕
When you're not feeling well, it's best to just get some slow, restful sleep without overthinking things—your body doesn't lie. If I'm sleepy, I go to bed early.😴💤
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. You always motivate me. 💕 I am fine recently. I have no stomachache at all. Happy I really feel our health is important. Let’s go for today and tomorrow! 🫶
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! Thank you for a message. That’s true. Our body is honest. I don’t know~ why I had kind of sickness(stomachache)…hurt just under my navel(oheso no shita)🥹. Fortunately I will have a yearly Dr. check next week. I will talk about this story to my Dr. He may send me somewhere to check of my stomach. ~ I am ok ~ I will see~ what my Doctor tells me. 😀 + I did blood tests. ✌️hopefully You do blood test and see your own Dr. right?! We will take care ~!😊
Hello! 😊 It really takes the joy out of daily life when you aren't feeling well. If your regular check-up shows nothing is wrong, then it’s likely related to nerves. Please try to take it easy and stay relaxed. 🐰❤
