It's December 1.
It's winter, isn't it?
Such a warm day for this time of the year
here in Tokyo!
No wind was blowing.
I felt like going hiking somewhere,
but I knew I was too weak to go on a hike.
So I walked to Koganei Park, where I would
often go with koharu, my granddaughter.
Everything was green
when I went to Koganei Park in May.
Today everything was in autumn color.
I shared a bench with a stranger---
a young man who seemed to be
a college student.
Yes, I enjoyed one chance encounter.
He was interested in taking pictures
and bought a good camera in June, he said.
After enjoying talking with him
for half an hour, I said goodbye to him.
I walked back slowly.
I had a very good day.
I walked 15019 steps in a day.
