I like turtles

This is a turtle in Rikugien where I went last Sunday.
I like turtles very much, because they are so cute.
It swam and looked so comfortable.
Look at its short arms and legs, it looks so cute doesn't it?

I would like to have a turtle in my house,
but my husband doesn't allow it.
Actually, we already have two cats and we can't afford to have any more pets.
I know that.

So I have enjoyed looking at turtles in parks, pet shops, sea, and so on.
The turtle which made the strongest impression on me was a marine turtle in Hawaii.
(The best turtle I ever saw was a marine turtle in Hawaii.)
I had never seen such a big turtle before.
I touched its shell, it was so hard.

Someday I hope to see a marine turtle again, and swim together.

Shidarezakura in Rikugien

Today, I went to Rikugien garden in Komagome to see Shidarezakura.
Shidarezakura is a cherry blossom which branches fall down from its trunk like Yanagi.

I like Someiyoshino which is the most famous cherry blossom.
That is cute and gorgous.

And I also like Shidarezakura, which is lilly and elegant.

It was fine today.
While I was walking, I felt so good.

Spring has came to Japan!

I enjoyed skiing in winter.
So I was sad to finishing winter season.

But in spring, I can enjoy hiking.
Next week I hope to go hiking in Chichibu or Okutama.

YOGA

Every Sunday, I go to the gym.
But this Sunday, I am going to the park to see cherry blossoms,
so I won't be able to go to the gym.
Which meant that I had to go there today.

While I was there I joined in the YOGA class.
This was my second time.

I have to sit for a long time at work everyday,
and I don't move much.

So once a week, I enjoy YOGA and relax.

When I came back home,
I found Basil holding a YOGA pose.
He has a flexible body, but my body is stiff.
I wish I were him.

Spring typhoon

Today, it rained so hard, and the wind blew so strong
that I had to go home earlier than usual.

I left my office at 2 PM,
and so I arrived home at 3 PM.

It sounds good but I was unhappy,
because I had a lot of work to do.
Which meant that I worked at home.

I have just finished.
I am so tired.

Every year, typhoons come to Japan in summer,
but this year it came in spring!

It's very unusual for this time of year.
YUKI is hiding in her cardboard house.

I hope weather gets better tomorrow.

This is YUKI

Today, I'll introduce YUKI.
This is a picture from when she was only 2 months old.
She came to our house when she was 3 months old.
Now, she is three years old.

She is BASIL's sister.
They have the same parents, so they are true siblings.

But they have quite different characters.
BASIL is peaceful, but YUKI is spoiled.

She is always scratching the walls in our house everyday.
So, we are not happy about this.

But she is very cute, so I love her.
I am happy to have her.
