Happenig in this early mornig (早朝の出来事)

A happening was at entrance of our house. I found out this bird which fell backward at the entrance. The bird seemed to be dead already. So I pinched the legs and threw in the hole which I dug the day before yesterday. However, it was not dead, just be black out. The bird got down by the hole like this. But it seemed to not be able to move.

After a few moment, AyeYai came out from the house. I said to her "You can see a dickey like bush warbler by the hole". She looked see it and brought her camera. And them she immediately moved over it to suitable place for taking a picture.
But she press the shutter button at the last minute, it flew away.

A major event in every summer (夏の一大行事)

We were enjoying to eat sweet fish at Yana restaurant.
It's a big event for my wife's parents.
But there is not any fishing weir by the lodge as restaurant now.

This is a cover shot of the restaurant.


If the fishing weir still were kept in a river, we could see it though this side.


Entrance of it


Her father invite his friends to the event every time.
They are a brother in arms and a book-mate.
They, all are more 85 years old.
And her mother always say at the table I could be here next year.


Yes, we will surely be here next year too.
