挨拶に近くに来てくれた可愛い子はさび猫ちゃんだった
On the way back from our daily walk
A friendly kitty who came over to say hello, was a tortoiseshell.

散歩に出る頃は跡形もなかった
網戸の向こうで帰りを待っていてくれた可愛い子
I saw a frost-covered neighbor’s roof this morning, but it was all gone by the time we set out for a walk.
My lovely cat lounged behind the screen window, watching for our return.

15分後はまだ池の向こうに
その15分後にはすっかり沈んだ
The setting sun casts a bright golden glow across the green field.
15 minutes later, it was still lingering beyond the pond.
It took another 15 minutes to completely sink.

で、今回はフェリーで ”City of the Bay”へ
When planning a road trip to a big city during the rainy season, the weather, traffic and parking are the variables to consider.
So, we took a ferry to “City of the Bay.”

最近休暇や旅行中お天気に恵まれる方が多いので、あの頃は私ではなくて他に雨男・雨女がいたのだと思う様になった
遠出する今日も快晴

久しぶりの散歩の足取りはゆっくり
赤い実とスミレの紫が日陰でも明るく映える
Sunny sky, yesterday and today!
Our pace on the long-awaited
walk is rather slow.
The red berries and purple color of the violet shine brightly even in the shade.

対照的に散歩の行きと帰りにほぼ同じ位置にいるオオアオサギ
Agile cedar waxwing makes me work harder and faster.
Meanwhile, we see the Great Blue Heron nearly in the same spot on both the way out and back from our walk.

Chinaberry with its abundant pods
May 2026 be a blessed and fruitful year just like this tree.

そして今回も
彼らが優雅に飛ぶ姿は無駄がないなぁ、といつも思う
The large birds perched on top of the tall trees are often hawk species.
And this time, too.
I always admire how gracefully and effortlessly they fly.

小雨の中その木の実を食べにいろんな鳥さん達が2025年最後の食事に来ていた
Branches from our neighbor’s pear tree stretch out toward my window.
As rain softly falls, a parade of birds flies by to enjoy the final feast of 2025.

実家のセンリョウ・マンリョウを思い出す
The red berries of the pepper tree add a bright color to the cold winter day.
They remind me of the two kinds of berries that, too, brightened my parents’ backyard in Japan.

Another group of backyard residents stands still with two legs.
They, too, mature fast in nature.

「立派な眉毛しているなぁ」
この簡潔な言葉が彼らの魅力を物語ってる
As the rain pauses for a brief moment, our backyard resident makes a timely appearance.
What glorious eyebrows s/he has!
Those simple phrases surely express her/his attractiveness.

Enduring 27 days with only a tiny MacBook screen felt like an eternity.
Now, reunited with my beloved 27-inch display, I can finally breathe normally.

みんな揃って健康でこの日を迎えられたことが何よりの贈り物
This year, we skipped the gifts entirely.
I am so grateful to spend this day in good health, together with my family, and that’s the best gift of all.

待っていてくれる可愛い子がいるということに救われていると思う
As my return to the US approaches, the complex emotions rises deep inside of me.
My sweet kitty always rescues me from the edge of gloom.

After the rain, Mt. Fuji on a clear morning
The rain had brought her a substantial snowfall compared to what she had three days ago.
