Yumiko（California U.S.A） SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yuming !🌅🌃 Your red Mandevilla flower is blooming beautifully.🌺😄👌 Oni-chang also happened to take a photo of red Mandevilla flowers in Paris and posted it on GS on August 2nd.📸🌺🌿🤗😁 Oh-kini.🌞✌️💦
@ニュージェッカー Good morning! Thank you for a message. Your place~ soon 🔜 rainy season will finish. It will be not so hot at your place?! How nice! Here, it’s very hot in California. Let’s take care of ourselves. Have a good day! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming so much for always looking at my GS photos.🙇🤗👌 Have you had a chance to see my sunflower photo ？🌻😄 That photo shows a sunflower field that reminds me of the movie "Sunflower" starring Sophia Loren.🌻🌻🌻👩🎶🎞️ The movie is great, but I especially like the soundtrack.🎵🌻😢 When I say, "Old movie music was great," people tell me, "That means you're getting old."😠💢 That's not true！🙅♀️ I think music from the Showa era was great.🙆♀️😄👌 What do you think, Yuming ?🤔 Oh-kini. 🌞✌️
@おいちゃん Good morning! 🌞 Yes. I saw your photo again. Nice! We live in the different countries and we can see the same flowers on the season. lovely 😊 Have a great day!
@太陽の塔 Yes. I saw your sun flower photos. Nice ones. I remember the movie! A couple was torn apart in the war. This movie was screened in 1970. Actually when we were elementary students! …Time passes so fast 💨. 😊 It’s hot outside. Let’s go for a good day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message ! 🤗 Beneath the vast sunflower field🌻 featured in the movie Sunflower, there lie the remains of countless Italian🇮🇹 and Soviet🇷🇺 soldiers (including Russian soldiers and prisoners of war), as well as numerous nameless civilians who lost their lives during World War II on the Soviet Front.😢🌻🌻🌻 Right now, I picture the Ukrainian flag.🇺🇦 Blue💙 represents the blue sky, and yellow💛 represents the wheat field🌾. Since sunflower fields🌻 are also yellow, it reminded me of the same scenery as the movie Sunflower.🎞️🌻 Today(8/6) marks the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.✈︎💥😢 Since it's not a celebratory occasion, is it appropriate to use the term "anniversary" ？🤔🙅♀️ Oh-kini. 🌞✌️
@yukio Good morning!🌞 Yukio san Thank you for a message. I know…it’s hot. Here~ right now it’s 32°C~36°C soon. It’s almost the same. We have no humidity. So it’s little bit better than Japan. Take care of yourself. Have a good day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Right~ it was the tragedy day in Hiroshima. The world wars caused this kind of things. We are so sad. I hope all the people and family in Hiroshima have a peaceful day. 🙏💐
Good morning! ☀️🙋♀️ Mandevilla—what lovely, colorful flowers. They belong to the dogbane family (Apocynaceae). I have pink ones blooming in my garden, too. 🩷 Thank you for sharing! 🐰♥️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank to Yuming for your message !😊 Oni-chang also pray for world peace and a stronger yen than now.🕊️💴⤴️🙏 Maido, oh-kini.🙇🌞✌️
@yukio Good morning! Thank you for a message. That’s right. I wake up at around 4:00am~ I enjoy internet 🛜 till 5:00am. After that~ I swim for 75 minutes and do speed walk for 30 minutes at my club. Every day 😊 Do you exercise? Or you are busy to work? I understand ~. We will have a nice day together! Take care of yourself. It’s hot. 💕
It’s been so incredibly hot every day—even with watering and keeping them in partial shade, the flowers still have to endure that blazing sun. I suppose it can't be helped. I just hope they can somehow hang in there until it cools down. 🐰❤
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA. That's right.💸 ... it now〜 €1＝￥182. Before〜￥185 Even though inflation and the consumption tax are big issues in Japan🇯🇵, visiting Europe🇫🇷🇬🇧 made me realize that Japanese food is still quite cheap.⤵️😋😊👌 We must see the world 🌏. Maido, Oh-kini. 💴🌞✌️
@かずちゃん Good morning! Kazu chan Thank you for a message. I know…it’s hot here, too. “Stay home” I do everything in the morning. And now~ I am enjoying to talk to you! 💕 Have a nice day! with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I know~ I walk ~ tekuteku for 30~40 minutes. I can’t find my favorite flower. ~ one day. One more day, and third day, I saw my favorite color flower. Everyday is coming. We will go for it! with our smiles 😊😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. World 🌎 exchange rate ~ everyday is changing. Today $1=¥157. One week ago ¥164~. I have desire to send $ to Japan, now. Soon 🔜 I will have to buy my land plot and ~ things at my graveyard. It will my future world place. I put my money 💰 comfortably. Your graveyard is your family place, right?! You do not have to buy anything. It’s the best. I do not have it. I am an only child. We will enjoy our days ~ I have no stress at all. No stomachaches 😊. Thank you 🙏
Exactly. Lately, none of the flowers in my garden or vegetable patch really spark any joy. It’s just too hot, and all the flowers are completely wilted and drooping. 😣💦😨
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 Recently in Japan🇯🇵, there is an increase in 'grave closures' (Haka-jimai), leading to more vacant spaces in cemeteries.🪦⤵️🤔😢 While graves are important for thanking ancestors, I feel it doesn't have to be a physical grave.🪦🙅♀️🙏👌 I don't know what the afterlife is like, but I imagine it's much the same as the time before we were born.🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ It’s great. You post the flowers from your own garden. 👍 I walk ~ I had started walking since 2020 /COVID started. Now~ 6 years… every day. And I came up to Green Snap. We have been great friendships on Green Snap. Nice day ! 😊😊
