Many signs of Spring
Sweet fragrant flowers appear
Let me lose myself...

On Monday, the 21st of March,
it will be a holiday here,
the First Day of Spring.
It is also my son Michio's birthday.
We waited on line together, yesterday,
to shop for his upcoming birthday dinner/cake
condiments.
I bagged most of them...
Things are looking better, somehow-
I feel Spring approaching...
Later, I met up with Lorna & Valerie.
The shops are all open different times everyday,
due to scheduled possible power outages.
Nothing is "regular".
As necessities are no longer located all in one place,
shopping has become a game.
We chatted over café au lait,
later strolling about
looking at the traveling
arts, crafts, & jewelry displays...
There was an interesting couple;
a Japanese man, and his Polish wife,
selling lovely pieces of Baltic Amber...
Later,
Lorna & I stepped outside,
and we caught this indescribably sweet scent
of the Jinchoge flower...
I clipped a small piece to put in my lapel...
Today,
I meet my English Conversation students.
We haven't met in 2 weeks.
I'm sure we won't lack for conversation...
Till Next Time...
