秋も深まり、変化を見せる植物たち

　早いもので今年も残すところ、あと７５日です。写真上は、まるで大空に羽ばたいてる大きな鳥の如く、成長を続けるサルスベリの幼木です。この木も種が零れ、自然に生えました。植木鉢に植えてありますが、一昨日、私が前の道のすぐそばの台に載せたところ、恰もステージに上がって音楽の指揮をしているようです。日当たりは良いし、これで私も水を与えやすくなりました。

　一方、左下は名前が倉賀野町に似てるクロガネモチです。実がたくさん生ってますが、大分黄色く色づいてきました。１１月～１２月は真っ赤になり、１月末には野鳥にすべて食べられる運命です。庭の植物たちを毎日見てると分かり難いですが、自然は日に日に変化してます。拡大してご覧ください。

　私たち人間も、つい同じ日々の繰り返しになり易いものです。しかし、どんな分野でも、今までより一歩でも前に進んだ新たな自分になりたいものです。

　こんなことを言ってる私ですが、昨日はちょっとしたことから、腰を痛め、今朝はラジオ体操会場へ歩いて行けない状況です。また、今日は次女の娘二人【小３、小５】の運動会なので応援要請がありましたが、前橋まではとても行けません。二人とも走るのが得意のようで見たいのです。隔世遺伝のようです。現在、貼り薬を貼り、回復を願ってます。回復に数日は掛かるでしょう。こんなとき、一人暮らしは情けないものです。

Dear my friends who are crazy about the recovery from lumbago and great music.

　The simultaneous interpretation into English for our mutual understanding will be done after my breakfast in Japan time.

　Time flies, and there are only 75 days left in this year. The photo above shows a young Crape Myrtle tree growing like a large bird soaring through the sky. This tree also grew naturally from a seed that was dropped. It was planted in a flowerpot by me, the day before yesterday I placed it on a stand just next to the path in front of the garden, and it looked as if it was conducting the music on stage. It will get plenty of sunlight, so that now it's easier for me to water it.

　Meanwhile, on the bottom left is a Japanese silverleaf, whose name sounds similar to Kuragano-Machi in Japanese pronunciation. It's full of fruit, and it's starting to turn color. They turn bright red from November to December, and are destined to be eaten by wild birds by the end of January. Looking at the plants in my garden every day, it may not be obvious at first glance, but nature is changing with each passing day. Please zoom in to take a closer look.

　We humans can easily fall into the same routine. However, in any field, we should become a new version of ourselves, even a small step forward from before.

　Even though I'm saying this, yesterday I hurt my back over, and this morning I'm unable to walk to the radio gymnastics venue. Also, today is my second daughter's daughter's sports day, so I've been asked to help out, but I can't go to Maebashi- City. They're both good at running by the atavism from their grandmother, any rate, I'd like to watch them. I'm currently using a patch and hoping for recovery. It will probably take a few days for recovery. It's shameful and miserable to live alone at a time like this.
