Japan's Meteorological Agency announced that the west part of Japan, in which I live, entered the rainy season. My town will have many rainy days for about a month from today. A dry summer will increase the strain on water resources. I hope that it rains enough in this time of the year for saving water in reservoirs as well as growing rice plants. Looking out of my room in my office, a cherry tree stands. It is indescribably picturesque in its heyday of one week in spring, but I like the tree also in this season. The color of its leaves are brightly green whether in the sunlight or on rainy days.
梅雨入り
僕の住む日本西部が今日、梅雨に入ったと気象庁が発表した。これから約１ヶ月、雨の頻度が高くなる。夏になると雨が少なくなり、水不足になりがちなのでこの時期には十分に降ってもらい、ダムに水を貯め、また稲の順調な成長を望みたい。職場の自室から見下ろすと一本の立派な桜があるが、この時期の桜は、青々とした葉に包まれ、春の桜に劣らずまた美しい。
