A mushroom in spring

A mushroom in spring and the morel（morille） in Noside`s garden.
It's slightly strange, but when we'll boil and take butter fry, the appearance is good.
It's really akin to a pine cone and fascinating.

Happy spring

The mugwort which has developed in a garden was picked this afternoon.
The spring of this year was cold, and vegetable growing was slow remarkably, and it didn't also flower easily, but it becomes warm gradually, and various flowering plants have begun to grow up like a burst of enthusiasm.

We'll have it in a dish of the dinner right away.
