Happy Wednesday 😃
We got another warm sunny day here in Michigan and I am getting outside and catching up on some yard cleanup. Just look at those happy trees and the birds are making lots of noise.
Like the commercial says: this bud’s for you.

When the tree sprouts (verse)
Japanese pepper
Spring is in full swing,
The buds of the trees are also growing.
This is Ukogi,
That one is Japanese pepper.
In particular, the sprouts of Japanese pepper are called “tree buds”.
Many people go insane during this time, so
The name ``Kinomedoki: tree buds time'' is used.
Many people receive this new breath of life by mistake.

木の芽時
春も酣(たけなわ)、
木々の芽も伸びてきた。
こちらは五加皮(うこぎ)、
あちらは山椒(さんしょう)。
特に山椒の新芽を木の芽というが
この時期に気がふれる人が多いので、
「木の芽時」という呼称が用いられる。
新しい生命の息吹を誤って受取る人も多い。

Now the pears are in bloom and after them the apple blossoms, the sweetest of all!
Then the tulip poplars and black locusts and way in the distance in June the catalpas. So much beauty on the way!

Happy Tuesday
There was only heavy clouds this morning, so no sunshine pictures at dawn today. Later on things cleared and I was out and about. I saw this one while out shopping and it is usually the first one to show off at this wood lot corner.
It’s getting real windy now. I wish it would calm down so I could be outside and not freeze.
