o-higan and o-hagi

Today is o-higan, Autumn Equinox Day.

I remember my mother used to cook o-hagi for us.
Yes, her o-hagi was very delicious.

When I was in Niigata, a friend of mine always cooked
o-hagi for me.

She was very good at cooking.
She was always so kind as to help me when I had
no appetite and could not cook for my daughter.

I used to put her o-hagi on my altar.
o-hagi was my husband's favorite!

Oh, how much I miss them all!
