植物も 経済同様 タイミング

　毎年、四季を通じて植物の世話をしてると、気温が急激に下がる時期は、この１１月中旬から下旬にかけての頃です。二十四節気で言うと、立冬から小雪の間です。ですから、この期間内に寒さに弱い観葉植物を外に出したままでは葉が萎れ、大切な植物が枯れてしまいます。

　このため、昨日は今まで外で育ててた、ご覧の「金の生る木」を室内の廊下に入れました。この木は元々隣のＴさんが生前に枝を一本下さったのが、このように大きく成長しました。つまり、挿し木で育ちました。主は天に召されても私の家で命を繋げてます。

　ところで、アメリカを中心とした本物の世界経済は１ドル１４９円まで下がった極端な円安は収まったものの、ウクライナ侵攻の影響と想われ、連日連夜、ダウ・ナスダック共に乱高下を繰り返しており、日本でも生活必需品の値上がりが著しいです。

　「金の生る木」に縋りたいですが、現実に、私は無駄な出費を抑える心のブレーキで対処してます。万人に関係する経済こそ、専門家の助言を参考にしつつ、生涯に亘り、自ら究めていくことが大切と思われます。

Dear my friends abroad who are influenced by world economy

　Every year, when I take care of plants throughout the four seasons, the time when the temperature drops sharply is around mid to late November in Japan. In terms of the twenty-four solar calendars, it is between Rittoh and Shohsetsu in our nation. Therefore, if the foliage plants that are vulnerable to cold are left outside after this season, the leaves will wilt and the precious plants will die.

　For this reason, yesterday I put the "Money Tree" you see in the photo, which I had grown outside until now, in the indoor hallway. Originally, this tree's branch was presented to me by Mr. Takano who was next door to me, while he was alive. This tree is grown from cutting. Even if the master is called to heaven, this tree is continued to live in my house.

　Not change the subject, but although the real world economy which is centered on the United States, has fallen to 149 yen to the dollar, the extreme depreciation of the yen has subsided, but it is thought to be the influence of the invasion into Ukraine, and the fluctuation of Dow and Nasdaq are repeated day after night. The price of the necessities of life increased outrageously.

　We want to cling to the "Money Tree", but in reality, I'm dealing with it with a mental brake to curb wasteful spending. All people are required a self-study of economy while referring to the advice of experts.
