A Howling Day!
It rained all morning, but if the weather service says it isn't the rainy season yet, I'll believe them, because it is not hot and muggy enough. It is cool today. Does it look cool? It is clearing up! I just giggled through Nautikos's comments on my blogs, amazing! You put me to shame Nauty, I have...

Sudare
Sudare are these, bamboo slats that keep the sun out. They will stay up till they are blown away, they are only leaning on the wall. Very Fragile, like me today, I will only stand up till the wind blows me away. This is all I have to offer today, not even the right time, with the sun on them! I need...

It's Mine!
Here is Mt Fuji again after heavy rains this morning. The view of this Mountain becomes less and less dependable when spring starts turning into summer. Notice the lack of snow. I hope I can send you all a black fuji one day this summer, but that area becomes hazey throughout the day, so I feel...

The world view, here and there
See the train at the bottom? That is the bullet train speeding by. That is what I rode into Tokyo Saturday to see my sister. This train takes an hour to go to Tokyo which is about 200 kilometers away. Had a good visit as we wandered through crowds on Omotesando. We met at Tokyo station with our cell...

Twenty minutes
I have twenty minutes to post. I wanted to read around but that isn't enough time time to get into anything. It's isn't enough time to get in to anything here either, but here it goes: Did they take away the 15 character deal for comments? I think they did! I was able to send just a rose to Shelly!...

Emotional
The news of earthquakes and cyclones has me in tears the last couple of days. I can't stand to watch the news. My heart is in a flutter. I am posting the last of my Before the Ever After and should be done in a few posts. Maybe with the subject matter being the Tokai earthquake, due to hit here any...

Do they Sweat in the Cold Rain?
Thank you again for all your comments. The answer to my question is yes! They do sweat! Because I can smell it on E's uniform after a cold and rainy soccer game. It is soaked with rain, and yes, sweat. I suppose they would only cancel or postpone if there were a typhoon or terrible electircal storm,...
