July 7, tanabata

This morning, I went to a public library nearby.
Wow! I found a Sasa-kazari in the library.

It's July 7!

It's the Festival of Vega---七夕.

The bamboo branch had different colored strips
of paper tied to the leaves.



Little children may have written their wishes
on these 短冊.

They were written in ひらがな.
I read some of them---

★本をだいすきになりたい。
★おかしやさんになりたい。
★でんしゃが４こほしい。
★なわとびができますように。
★すいえいがはやくなりますように。
★もっとかんじがうまくなりますように。
★どうぶつえんのしいくいんになれますように。
★おとなになったらすぽーつせんしゅになれますように。
★ながいきできますように。

It has been raining lightly since early in the morning.





I'm afraid Vega and Alter won’t be able to meet tonight.

I feel so sorry for them.
