I am so sorry for the people in Bahamas,

but our area survived Hurricane Dorian.

Not even strong wind and rain!

As our Manager goes to Japan for 1 month and a half,

he nicely decides to let me use this company car during his absence.

My very first time to drive this BIG vihicle,

but test drive went well:-)

Only that backing, back parking is still scary

she jumped onto my lap:-)

This white Koi is the only one in this Lily Pond,

by Miyazaki movie, the white dragon boy.

 The Cypress Trees just outside,

 These fluffy things flew into my veranda in forth floor.
I was wondering at first, but now, I know:-)












I missed the flower, it's already done....:-(

March 21, 2019

I went to Ft. Lauderdale Downtown,
the place I know that there's a nice garden
to take pictures of....
and I saw the big difference!!
 Between the last time
I've been there 3 weeks ago?
and today,
Spring moves very fast!

And I found these pretty Violets
by their small pond.
I love Violet and I didn't expect to see any
in Florida until now!

3/21/2019 FLL downtown

And I talked to the woman who works there

and she gave me some of the Violet!

It was Australian Violet, she said.

I knew I couldn't grew them in my veranda

it's not shady at all, but

I couldn't say no when she offered..

I'll ask somebody who has a shady yard:-)

My Potato is growing and growing so fast!!

I saw somebody ATE the part of the leaf the other day,
the plant is not doing good after that.
And This Morning,
I actually found WHO was that.
MAX!!
He didn't even hide from me to do that!
He's grounded today  (3/13/2019)

My small Ohinasama pairs I took out yesterday,

 

 It was no problem last year

but look what mess WHO made.

 

Origami Emperor is totally missing,

what should I do with the Empress alone....??

February 23, 2019

She kicked the flowers out and

drank all the water:-)

 

February 22, 2019

 

It's already one  year gone.

She loved chocolate and cake,

but especially this "Coffee Mousse Cake",

she repeated  "Yummy!" "Oishii!!"

and made me very proud:-)

So I made this for her today,

Enjoy!

Chocolates are from your granddaughter, too!

It wasn't raining a lot, but I got wet little by little

while taking pictures,

I was so cold when I got home.

It wasn't like Florida Rain,

It was cold winter rain:-[

But anyway,

I like taking pictures

in the rain

on rainy days:-)

Cookies for Santa.

Every year when I bake these cookies for Santa,

I remember my daughter cried out

in the Christmas morning,

saying "Mommy!! Santa ate all the cookies!!!!"

She was little and she is big now.

But I keep thinking about that morning and

BE HAPPY!!!
