The mysterious world of nameless flowers

Yesterday morning, I went to put up the deer net, and my eye was caught by a piece of grass with lovely buds among the stones on the ground.

When I searched, it was called Uri Kusa.

The third and final mowing of the year is scheduled for September 15th.

Early in the morning, I stop to look at the lovely, nameless flowers and contemplate the mystery of these tiny flowers, and the time begins again.

Withstanding the winds of Typhoon No. 10...

It was rainy and windy yesterday and the day before yesterday.

I was worried that the newly installed pump cover would be blown away by the strong winds of the typhoon, but I was relieved that it wasn't blown away.

It's raining intermittently this morning, but the wind has stopped and the sky is cloudy.

We have long heard about Japan becoming subtropical due to global warming, but for those of us who grew up as children in the 1950s, it is becoming more difficult to tell the seasons from year to year, and it feels very strange.

Where has the Japanese lifestyle of the 1950s, with its clear and beautiful four seasons, gone?

The reason why spring and autumn, which gently connect winter and summer, have disappeared lies in the way we humans live our lives...

Although impermanence is a norm in the material world, we would like to move forward together with the Earth, striving for coexistence and prosperity.

...That's what I think, as someone who was born in the 1950s and continues to live a Showa-era life in the countryside.

Beaten by the wind and rain of the typhoon...

A linear precipitation band occurred and Typhoon No. 10 changed from a wind typhoon to a rain typhoon.

Yesterday afternoon, the city issued an evacuation order for elderly people in areas at risk of landslides, including this one.

The sound of water flowing in the north channel is getting louder.

I decided to spend today at home, being careful about the safety of my surroundings.

The gradations of green of the morning glory leaves fluttering in the wind and rain are beautiful.

Typhoon No. 10 Sansan approaching

2024/8/28 5:27The eastern sky was beautiful.

Anxiety is being stirred up by reports on TV news and social media of a stray typhoon this summer bringing with it some of the most severe storms in history.

The forecast also predicts the occurrence of a linear precipitation band, with the effects of the severe weather expected to peak between tonight and tomorrow.

There are five winds and ten rains, but like yesterday morning's sky, the sky is always clear and calm.

I want to stay calm and not be swayed by the situation in front of me.

Orion rises in the southeastern sky

2024/8/28 4:41 The moon, 23.7 days old, lights up the pre-dawn sky clearly.

The outside temperature is 25 degrees and there is a pleasant breeze.

There is a lot of buzz about Typhoon No. 10 making landfall in western Japan. It is a large storm and there are concerns it will cause great damage.

However, this morning's sky was calm and beautiful, like a mirror.

Today I continue my life's journey. I am grateful for the work of life.
