PETALS AND LEAVES TO BE SWEPT (花びらと落ち葉)

On Wednesday there was a shower of the cherry petals, and it looks like snow covering the whole garden.


（水曜日には雨と風で花吹雪となり、庭全体がうっすら雪で覆われたように見えます。）

Spring is another season of fallen leaves.  Leaves of Ilex integra are falling now, and we must sweep them every day.


（春はもう一つの落葉の季節。モチノキの葉が今落葉していて、毎日掃き掃除をします。）

 Ilex integra

I covered the pool with fine net to catch fallen leaves.  

 It takes time and labor to sweep them, however, it's a worthwhile job because we can enjoy beautiful flowers, leaves, and fruits.


（落ち葉掃除は時間と手間がかかりますが、美しい花や緑、そして美しい実を楽しめるのでやりがいはあります。）
