HELLEBORE ALREADY BLOOMING (早くもクリスマスローズ開花)
I unexpectedly found Helleborus flowering under a plum tree yesterday.
It is quite unusual that helleborus flowers in November.

FINISHING THE ARBOUR SEAT (アーバーシート、ついに完成)
This weekend, I've finished the arbour seat.
Almost a year has passed since I I hit upon an idea.
この週末、アーバーシートを完成させました.
思いついて約1年かかりました.
Yesterday,
I cleaned the frame of an antique stained glass using an electric sandpaper,
painted it white,
and made side wall and bench.
昨日は、
アンティークのステンドグラスの枠を電動サンダーできれいにして
白いペンキを塗り、
側壁とベンチを作りました.

And Today,
I made a backrest of the seat,
and installed the stained glass on the back board.
そして今日は、
シートの背もたれを作り、
ステンドグラスを取り付けました.
Bargeboards were cut using an electric saw,
painted white,
and fit to the roof.
破風板を電気鋸で切り出し、
白く塗り、
屋根に取り付け、
And at the end,
two garden finials were fit to the both end of the roof as ornamental decoration.
そして最後に
2個のガーデン・フィニアルを屋根の両端に飾りとして取り付けました.

VIEWS FROM THE ARBOUR SEAT UNDER CONSTRUCTION (作りかけのアーバーシートからの眺め)
Today I painted the arbour.
Its colour is blue-gray, the same as the gazebo.
I post views from the arbour below.
Lantana montevidensis is in full bloom.
A pair of Echium candicans in front of the arbour were planted in March,
have grown this season, and will bear spikes of blue flowers next spring.

FROM AUTUMN TO WINTER (ポタジェも秋から冬へ)
It was cold this morning.
Minimum temperature was 7 degrees Celsius.
Now is the time when we change the kitchen garden
into the winter garden.
今朝は冷え込んで
最低気温が摂氏7度・・
いよいよ菜園も冬に模様替えです
Globe amaranth is still in full bloom, but tomato is almost over.
We pulled up both of them, and planted young plants of lavender.
Two net frame were moved to other beds,
and winter vegs were uncovered.
We'll harvest potatoes in early December.
