Chicken dumpling hotpot

I finally made chicken dumpling hotpot this morning.

My back has been feeling sore since the beginning of autumn, and I've been feeling cold all the time.

Now that I had all the ingredients for the hotpot and was feeling well, I finally made and ate some chicken dumpling hotpot this morning.

It was so delicious.

I was sweating and my body was warm. Maybe the heart too.

It will warm you up, so please try it.

Today's breakfast!

I made breakfast to myself for the first time in a while.

Brown rice, miso soup with clams, amberjack sashimi, yellowtail with turnip and kelp cooked in soy sauce, pickled Chinese cabbage, a complete Japanese meal!

For me, who was born in the Goto Islands and raised in the straits, this Japanese set meal is very natural to me.

The table is a mess, but this is what a 67-year-old single person looks like around the table. 😄

It was very delicious.

I'm enough!

I don't need anything until dinner today!

Enaga dance

This morning, as soon as I opened the curtains on the west side, I saw many long-tailed tits flying around among the branches of persimmon trees, chirping to each other.

Moving its head slightly, it flew between the branches, performing a lovely song and dance, and flew to the branch of a neighbor's tree. It was like watching a short musical, singing and dancing with such a cute little figure. Thank you God for the wonderful message of blessing. Look forward.

Kangiku

Many flowers have bloomed on the Kangiku that I cut back in the summer.

As winter approaches, Kangiku flowers bloom.

God meticulously places each of us in the best, necessary, and sufficient place for the growth of our souls and the realization of our desires at the time.

God does not give us challenges that we cannot overcome.

We can transcend other people's judgments, past regrets, future worries, time and space, and blossom in the here and now. All you have to do is keep trying your best.

We are already given and protected.

Stay calm, refreshed, natural, and be yourself. The yellow flowers of winter chrysanthemums are cheering us on in the bitter cold.

Without a lord

I forgot to take out the garbage, so I went out early in the morning to take it out.

I saw a long-tailed tit flying around the branches of a persimmon tree for the first time in a while.

I could hear birds chirping all the way into my room, and I was also able to see buntings and wood sparrows.

I remember the refreshing feeling of waking up to the sound of wild birds chirping the morning after I moved here 22 years ago.

I followed the chirping of the birds to an abandoned house and was surprised.

There were large chestnut and yuzu trees at the back of the mansion.

I see...that's why deer come into our garden.

Even if the residents disappear, the cycle of nature will continue, growing wild birds and native fruits, attracting deer...

I thought of the skill and certainty of Something Great's big plans.
