季節は鬱陶しくとも、気持ちは爽やかに！

　今年もブーゲンビリアが咲き、青春時代のインドを思い出します。一見し、全体的にきれいなピンクの花のように見えますが、実は、このピンクは殆ど薄い葉であり、本当の花はその中に小さく咲いてます。しかし、それとは別に青い葉もあり不思議な植物です。ブーゲンビリアは明るいピンクで前の道を通る人も立ち止まって眺めてます。このため昨日も見知らぬ方と会話ができました。

　南国の植物ゆえ、日本の冬の寒さには耐えられず枯れてしまったこともあります。今年の秋には植物用の温室を作る予定なので、ブーゲンビリアの他、君子蘭や、ハイビスカス、芙蓉、ジキタリス、アマリリス、西洋シャクナゲなど寒さに弱い植物たちはその中で冬を過ごします。

　ところで、今日から６月です。群馬県の今朝は久しぶりに晴れてます。しかし、気温は高くじめじめする梅雨の季節なので食中毒にならぬよう食品の衛生管理には気を配りたいと思います。

　一方、気持ちも鬱陶しくなる季節ですが、室内の清掃を心掛け、７月中旬の梅雨明けまで心身ともに健やかに生活したいものです。そのため時々は日帰り温泉までドライブしてサッパリし、時々は、夕食に馴染みの小料理屋で気分転換し、話に花を咲かせ、梅雨を乗り切ります。

Dear my friends abroad

　The simultaneous interpretation for your understanding will be after my radio gymnastics held in the nearby park and breakfast in Japan time.

.................................

　The bougainvillea bloomed again this year, this plant is reminding me of my youth in India at Calcutta-city. At first glance, she looks like a beautiful pink flower, but in fact, most of the pink is made up of thin leaves, so that the real flower is small and blooming among them. However, she also has blue leaves. Therefore she is a mysterious plant. The bougainvillea is bright pink, and people passing by on the path in front of the garden stop to look at it. Because of this, I was able to talk to a stranger yesterday.

　As you know, since she is a tropical plant, so she has withered because she could not withstand the cold of Japanese winters. I plan to build a greenhouse for plants this fall, so in addition to bougainvillea, plants that are sensitive to the cold, such as amaryllis, hibiscus, foxglove, amaryllis, and western rhododendron, will spend the winter there.

　Not change the subject, but today is the first day of June. It is sunny in my Gumma Prefecture this morning for the first time in a while. However, it will be the rainy season, and the temperature is high and it is humid, so I should be careful about food hygiene management so as not to get food poisoning.

　On the other hand, although it is a season that makes me feel depressed, I want to keep my home clean and stay healthy in body and mind until the end of the rainy season in mid-July. To that end, I sometimes take a drive to my favorite day spa to refresh both body and mind, and of course, sometimes I go to a familiar small tavern for dinner to change my mood, have a good conversation with friends, and get through the rainy season.

幼木の「ねむの木」からバランスと生きる力を学ぶ

【画像をクリックするとピントが合います。】

　今日は大陸の高気圧が日本列島を覆うので、昨日より幾分か涼しいでしょう。今後は大陸の高気圧と太平洋高気圧が押し合い、その中間に梅雨前線の停滞がしばらく続きます。７月中旬に、ついに太平洋高気圧が押し切ると関東地方は梅雨明けになります。

　自然はよくできており、このお陰で植物たちは緑色濃くなり、成長します。ご覧の幼木は実生から生えた「ねむの木」で２才です。剪定してませんが、生まれ持ったバランスの良い樹形を呈し、葉が成す緑陰と言い、絹糸のような細いピンクの花が咲き、人間の目に安らぎを与えます。このため「ねむの木」は英語でSilk Treeと言うようです。

　撮影は昨日の午後ですから、写真では未だ葉は閉じてません。「ねむの木」は、その名の通り就眠運動があり、本当にぐっすり眠り、不思議な植物です。６月～７月の開花の光景は「風流」という言葉がぴったりです。

　ところで、今年度、私は地区の本部役員(会計監査)とともに、近隣の班長です。今日は班長会議に出席します。

Dear my overseas friends who are interested in plants and music

　Atmospheric high pressure from the Eurasian continent will cover the Japanese archipelago today, so it will be a little cooler than yesterday I guess. From now on, the continental high pressure and the Pacific high pressure will push against each other, and the seasonal rain front will remain stagnant for some time in between. In mid-July, the Pacific atmospheric high pressure finally breaks through, and marks the end of the rainy season in the Kanto region.

　Nature is well-organized, and because of this, plants turn green and grow. The young tree you see in the photo is a 2-year-old "nemu tree" that has grown from a seedling. Although it has not been pruned by me, it exhibits a naturally well-balanced tree shape, with the green shade created by the leaves and the thin pink flowers that look like silk threads, giving a sense of peace to the human's eye. For this reason, "Nemu no Ki" is called "Silk Tree" in English.

　The photo was taken yesterday afternoon, so the leaves have not yet closed in the photo. As its name suggests, the ``Nemu Tree'' has a sleep movement, and it is a mysterious plant that sleeps really soundly. The flowering scene from June to July is best described as "elegant."

　Not change the subject, but this year, I am the district officer (accounting auditor) as well as the neighborhood group leader named "hancho" in our tongue. I will attend the group leader meeting today.

年重ね 美的なものに 惹かれます

【画像をクリックし、拡大してご覧ください。】　

　多年草や球根で咲くユリなどは人間が何もしなくても、毎年５～６月が来ると開花するので便利です。あるいは、半永久的です。

　写真はダリアの一種で「マジョーレ」です。まるで小学生が絵に描いたようで、しかも、花弁の中と縁の色が違っていて配置が美的です。

　私が子供の頃、父はダリアが好きで夏になると前の川から水を運び、水遣りしてましたが、私もその年になり、父と同様の心境なのかもしれません。

　群馬県は梅雨入りし、植物に水遣りする必要がなく、それでも植物はますます成長し、自然は有り難いものです。

　お陰様で、年を重ねても(気持ちは未だ２０代)、音楽や植物に心を奪われ、まあまあ充実した日々を過ごしてます。

Dear my friends who love flowers and music

　Perennials and lilies that bloom in bulb are convenient because they bloom every May to June without my intervention. Or it is semi-permanent.

　The photo shows a kind of dahlia named "Majore". this is almost like an elementary school student drew a picture, and the colors in the petals and the edges are different, so that the color arrangement is aesthetical.

　When I was a kid, my father liked dahlia, and during the summer he brought water from the river in front of the garden and watered it. I became the same age, I may have the same feelings as my father.

　Gumma prefecture has entered the rainy season, so I needn't watering the plants, but the plants are still growing, therefore natural phenomenon is appreciated.

　Thanks to nature, even as I get older (still 20's in my heart), I am fascinated by music and plants, and I am spending fairly fulfilling days.

登校時 校歌の演奏 続けてる

　雨のため、昨日はスーパーにお遣いに行ったのみで一日中、家にいました。朝７時５０分に倉賀野小児童が私の家の前を通るので「倉小校歌」と「雨雨降れ降れ」をアルトリコーダーで吹きました。

　一方、小雨の中、庭の築山に盛り土をしました。スコップで３０杯ぐらいですが、結構かなりの力仕事です。しかし、盛り土でも絶対に崩れません。「源平しだれ桃」の根のそばに土が不足してるので土を与えました。果たして来春は樹木に勢いがつき、たくさん咲くでしょうか。

 雨で外が歩けないので室内をぐるぐる回り１０００メートルほど歩きました。また、力士が鍛えるテッポウも室内で行ないました。空腹になるのが胃腸の健康の元です。

 Due to rainfall, yesterday, I just went to the supermarket and stayed at home all day long. At 7:50 in the morning, Kuragano elementary school children passed in front of my house, so I played "Kuragano Elementary School Song" and a famous children's song titled "Rain Rain Rainfall" by the alto recorder as you see in the photo.

 On the other hand, I just piled soil on the artificial mountain to make an embankment by about 30 shovels in the light rain. It was quite a hard work. However, it never collapse even the embankment. I gave soil because there was not enough soil near the roots of "Bicolored Genpei Weeping Peach". Will the peach tree gain momentum next spring and bloom a lot?

 I walked around in the rooms for about 1000 meters. Teppo of Push Up which is like a sumo wrestler's training was also done indoors. Being hungry is the source of gastrointestinal health.

雨降って 更に色彩 増す美人

※昨日は拙いブログにたくさんのアクセスがあり、有難うございました。今後もアクセスと、可能であればコメントを戴ければ嬉しく思います。

　群馬県高崎市では、今日の未明に大雨が降り、その轟音に私は目が覚めました。それを物語るように、朝になって庭を見ると背の高いグラジオラスが３本倒れてました。すぐに棒を立て、寄りかかれるように真っすぐに直してやりました。

　しかし、雨によって花は更に色鮮やかに咲いてます。植物にとって雨水は大切な栄養であることが分かります。シャクナゲたちの葉も生き生きしてきました。今まで、私はグラジオラスやユリに関心が薄れてましたが、今後はもっと力を入れます。

　やはり花の美しさは、その形状と色彩美にあると感じてます。近くの方は見学においで下さい。

 ※ Yesterday, I had a lot of access to my blog. I deeply appreciate your support. I look forward to your continued access and comments, if possible.
　

 In Takasaki City, Gumma Prefecture, Japan, it rained heavily before dawn today, and I woke up to the roaring sound. It seems to tell the evidence, when I looked at the garden in the morning, three tall gladioli have fallen down. I immediately put up a stick and straightened them so as to lean on it.

 However, the rain makes the flowers more colorful. It turns out that rainwater is an important nutrient for plants. The leaves of the rhododendrons have come alive as well. Until now, I've been less interested in gladioli and lilies, but I'll raise them with more effort in the future.

 After all, I feel that the beauty of flowers lies in both their shape and color. If you are near including NZ, please come visit me.

夕立ちで 始まる梅雨入り 気候変動か

【画像を大きくしてご覧下さい。】

　いよいよ関東地方も梅雨入りしましたが、昨日の午後は雷を伴ったもの凄い夕立でした。この雨の降り方はまるで梅雨明けを思わせるようで、やはり世界的な気候変動の一端が感じられます。

　しかし、お陰でグラジオラスには都合が良く、ご覧のようにピンクの花の芽が出て来ました。写真は今朝撮りました。実は築山には色とりどりのグラジオラスが推定３０本くらいあり、これからの季節が楽しみです。初夏にはこの他、各種ユリが咲き始めているので、季節の移り変わりが感じられます。

　一方、私は植物に負けず、今日も一日、筋肉トレーニングと脳トレーニングに励みます。

 The Kanto region in Japan has finally entered the rainy season, but yesterday afternoon there was a terrible severe shower with thunder. This way of rain was like the end of the rainy season of old days. After all, I feel a part of global climate change.

 However, thanks to that, it was convenient for gladiolus, and as you can see, pink flower buds came out. The picture was taken this morning by me. In fact, there are estimated 30 colorful gladioli in Tsukiyama that means artificial mountain for plants, and I'm looking forward to the coming season. In addition to this, various lilies are beginning to bloom in early summer from now on, so we can feel the changing seasons.

 On the other hand, without being beaten by these plants, I will continue to work hard on muscle training and brain training all day long.
