雨の土曜日。先週の木工市で手に入れた、家具の木っ端袋入り。300円で、これだけ入っていた。積み木にするには、サイズがバラバラだけど、品質がいい。いつか、なんか作れるといいね。rainy Saturday. She played with 300 yen service bag of wood pieces from furniture festival last weekend. |
日曜日、どうやら、曇りではあるものの、花見が出来そうな雰囲気。お弁当を作って、出かける事にした。目的地は、いろいろ考えた結果、佐賀県、祐徳稲荷に決定。 It is the season of cherry blossom. I do not know why it is so special for Japanese, but it is, really. That makes all of us excited and celebrate. We are busy minding it. It last only a few days. I was so worried about rain and wind. Probably we could not make it this year,,,,On Sunday, it was not sunny, but not raining either. We decided to make lunch and go to picnic under the cherry blossom trees.
お花を見に行くのだから、お花のお洋服を着るのよ、とピラピラした服を着たナノカ。 途中、波佐見の里山で、桜の下で写真をまず、パシャリ。 Nanoka chose her floral dress for flower picnic. Fancy idea! Under the cherry blossom on the way. |
祐徳稲荷は、日本三大稲荷の1つ。まずは、御手洗所で手を清める。 We visited Yutoku fox shrine. This is one of the biggest fox shrine in Japan. Washed hands near the gate. |
境内に、京都の清水の舞台赤バージョンが、どどーんとある。 There are big wooden stage resembling Kyoto Kiyomizu stage. |
階段を自分で登るナノカ。がんばるなあー。 She started to climb. |
上のお堂でもお参り。見ると、さらに、奥もある。 She preyed up there, too. Still there we found the stairs. |
鳥居が続き、坂道も続く。あたい、疲れて来ちゃった、、、 Lots of gates and kept going slopes and stairs. She got tired. |
そして、この階段に、、、軽い登山状態。当然、抱っこのナノカ。 Then this stairs,,,it is rather climbing mountain. She gave up and husband carried her. |
花の下でお弁当予定だったが、登山で登り切った所で、限界に。奥の院前でお昼ご飯。 At the peak we found the last gates. We decided eat. |
海まで一望。お花は遠目にしか見えないけど、眺めはいいしね。 Not under the cherry blossom trees, but in a good view and beautiful air. |
帰りはオール抱っこ。パパ、お疲れさま。 Husband carried her all the way down. |
帰りに、吉田の100年桜なるものを発見。里山に立つ桜が、切手の絵みたい。 On way back home, we found big old tree. Beautiful country side scenery. |
さて、今週は、私も締切りが近づいてくるので、ガッツリ仕事をしなくてはいけない。花の季節は短いですねえ、、、I am glad to enjoy the cherry blossom before the due of the assignments to do. The season is so short but maybe that makes it so special.
