Taking a walk in the evening, I saw this violet.
In spite of the mid-winter, it's warm these days.
So this spring flower might have bloomed.
Taking a picture of this flower, I found a retired man pruning a pine tree in the yard of his house.
So we were chatting for a while including his wife.
At that time another man who would retire from his work this April walked by and joined us.
Next the neighbor who had retired a few years ago came out of his house and joined us.
Last a man taking a walk also joined us. 
He had retired from his work a few years ago.
They are all in their sixties.
There are lots of people like them around me.
But they aren't too old not to be able to do anything.
I wonder how they are going to spend the days after they retire.
They must have been looking forward to retiring because they had worked very hard for a very long time !
