2011 was a terrible year for Japan.
I wish 2011 be a happy and nice year !
My friend invited me for lunch yesterday.
We went to a small Italian style restaurant named Forchetta Ghi and had a good time there for about an hour so.
These are the dishes.
At that time, she presented me a set of doll called 'Jiji Baba' that means 'old man and old woman'.
We wish for a healthy and happy life like these dolls.
These dolls may bring luck to our family.

New year is coming soon and I am preparing of new year's card.
They say that some people won't send it because of 'Giant earthquake in East Japan'.
But I will send it next year too.
So I printed my greetings to new year's cards this afternoon.
After printing addresses and some new years greetings or so, I have to write on some messages and my sign.
If we post them till December 25, the cards will be delivered on January 1.
So I will post them till then.

These are some sceneries these days.
The scenery these days is the one of late autumn or early winter.
Color of hills seen from here is turning to brown day by day.
pond of lotus
fallen leaves
seeds of cotton rosemallow
down of a weed
Rice plants after harvesting are under drying now.
The scenery shows us the end of fall.
After drying, the dairy farmer piles them up and use them to feed their cow.
