Across the road from my house is set as the waste collection spot. When I say so, you might feel the space is somewhere dirty, or that I hate this situation. In fact, however, the waste site is always kept clean by neighbors, and besides now, the cherry trees are starting to come into bloom. I go to work every morning seeing these trees in this season. Season changing reminds me of the flow of time and encourages me to do work or something enjoyable more often, because I feel it tells me the rest of life is getting short. Life is wonderful, I really think so.
The second picture is the swollen buds of the inushide (Carpinus tschonoskii) in my garden. Spring looks like it's coming to my house, too. As it gets warmer, this small garden would be a good space for parties.
(Vocabulary)
come into bloom 開花する
swelling of buds // swollen buds つぼみの膨らみ
I love the changing of the seasons as well. I especially enjoy Autumn, but I love the spring change as well. Cherry blossoms have always been very special in my life. My Grandmother planted a Cherry Blossom tree in her front yard when I was born and always called that tree "Sarah's Tree".
