ここ、写真を載せられるのが目的なのに、 Google photos と連携が悪く､新しい写真が使えない｡5日？に一度位更新される？ビデオは駄目？

2008年からの歴史を見ながら続けられたら、と思ったけど、今日のことを今日書きたいので……

だからinstagramで続きを、と思ったら、今度はusername をこのブログのに変えられない。じゃあ写真が出てきた時だけここも時々書いて歴史を守り､インスタはインスタで……というややこしい事で。

 I only see a smiling face, nothing else!!

 今日はよく働いたぞ、って帰ってきたら、ドアの真ん前にプレゼント……

　　　　　　　虎のように歩くミミ

ミミ、お前さんかな？

ありがとね〜良く獲ったね〜すごいね〜でも悪いからもう良いからね〜でもありがとね〜と色々言っといた。

まだ新しいようで痛んでいなかっただけ片付けが楽だった。鳥さん、君もノロチャンだねえ捕まっちゃったのね……

Came home to see the present in front of the door.....

Is it you, Mimi?

Thank you very much, Mimi! Did you catch this? Wow good hunter! But you don't have to, it's okay. Thanks!!...... I told her this and that, trying not to hurt her feelings!

Hey Birdie, I'm sorry but aren't you a little slow....?

 フロリダの今頃はまだ、朝が気持ち良い。熱風じゃない涼風がそよそよ、肌に心地よい。

外ねこミミも、暑くなく寒くなく、よく寝たか？

夏時間に切り替わったばかりなので、陽が昇るのは7:14、起きる頃はまだ暗いけど、日毎に早くなる。

残業してもまだ外が明るいのはうれしいね☺️

Morning outside is so nice these few days.  Not yet hot air, wonderful breeze feels great!

 When it's March, this Yellow Tree (Tabebuia), Poinciana in May, Golden Shower Tree and Jacaranda in June.  

Oh, Mango trees start blooming soon after the New Year Days. They know which month to bloom.

On the other hand, a kind of Jasmine bush in my front yard has flowers all around the year, it doesn't care seasons.  

Here in Florida, we don't have to worry about when to plant seeds.....not really......not exactly 

How do plants know seasons, or "month" to come out?!

 This is the season I miss Japan for Cherry blossom trees. On the way to grocery shopping, I see this pink tree (Cassia) every year in  early March, it makes me feel good but a little bit sad.....you are beautiful like Cherry tree but I want to see Cherry tree....but I am happy to have you here!

 I am so sad, feel bad and helpless. This is the story 

I found a cat 10 days ago in my front yard.  He wasn't scared of me, he came closer with these eyes.

He was so polite and gentle, he let me hold him, put bandages on his right leg, when I cleaned him up with paper towels, he liked it and coo-meow sounds were so cute.

Unfortunately I can't keep him and he had a cut in his right leg, I trusted the Broward county shelter saying that you found a lost cat and he has some kind of injury, bring him immediately. 

I did, hoping he would get a good treatment.  I was a little worried if they put him sleep after a certain period if nobody wanted him but they said that there's "community cat " program, after..... don't remember she said one week or two weeks.....they put him back where he was found.  

So he might come back to my front yard anyway..... could encourage him to stay in my backyard? But he is definitely the type he is used to sleep with people, I will always feel guilty seeing him outside....what should I do...??

Then I got busy, I couldn't make a "Found Cat" flyer and put it in my neighborhood, I couldn't visit how he's doing........Finally today I was ready with the flyer and went to the shelter to make sure he's there.

The personnel looked in their records with my name and date I left him, then said "He didn't make it "

????? Didn't make...from what? From the small cut? The just killed him because he was not a kitten, he had a scabbed ear, he had a lower chance to be picked up.....

I didn't say anything, just thanked and left, it was my fault, I brought him here to die....😭😭😭😭😭

He was such a great kid, quiet and good natured, trusted me, but I sent him to hell 😱

I tried to think that the morning I picked him inside and cleaned him, listening him ゴロゴロmeaw and feeling vibrating his throat, watching him rest on a big pillow.... he felt a relief? He might had wondered a few days or more after he lost, he must have been exhausted, he felt good on the pillow? He remembered his family's touch from me? A little bit felt happy?

But he died.....why? he was such a great cat, anyone would want to adopt him!!

 I didn't know there's still "Google Blogger "and my "Small Things....." is alive.

I started writing a little everyday like "diary " but it was not interesting without being able to add pictures.

So I checked.  Okay I will write here .... after 5 years? 6 years? 7 years absence, "Small Things...." re-starts!

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

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:-)
