毎日行なう庭づくり・・・次第に高くなる築山

　今日の午後は心身に鞭を打ち、一人黙々、肉体労働です。裏庭が草ボウボウだったので、アサカキで削り、枯れ葉や枯れ草を一輪車で運んで、表の庭の築山【別名・源平の丘】の上に積みました。近日中に上から土で覆います。これによって築山が一段と高くなり、来春はここに色とりどりの花が咲きます。

  中央の幹がくにゃくにゃしてる樹木が源平しだれです。紅白二色で満開になるので見事です。来春には花見ができるのでお出かけ下さい。

 This afternoon, I whipped my mind and body, and I'was silently working physical labor alone. Since in the backyard there were rampant grasses, I scraped it by the mower named asakaki, carried dead leaves and dead grasses with a unicycle, and piled them on the artificial hill named Genpei Hill in the front garden. I will cover it with soil from above in the near future. This will raise the artificial hill higher, and colorful flowers will bloom here next spring.

 The squishy and twisting stem in the center is the Genpei bicolored weeping peach tree. It is marvelous when it is in full bloom. Please come to see the peach blossoms next spring.
