Dutch friend of my daughter presented us Dutch Jin (Genever)
It was distilled by Zuidam family in traditional style in Nederland. It tastes a little sweet and smells complex of herbs. The color is thin yellow. I like it.

After long rain, I planted potato.

Huki-no-tou (Japanese butterbur flower-bud)
I picked Huki-no-tou, the flower-buds of Japanese butterbur, in the field.
Its bitter smell makes me feel the coming of spring.
I made tempra of Huki-no-tou.
Bumblebee's hole
At Tuganeji temple, two black bumblebees were flying.
As they moved so busily, I could not take a photo.
But finally I found bumblebee's hole.

Near my cottage, I watched a bird.
It's Great Tit.
She is prepareing her nest.

Cherry blossoms bloom in my garden.
Cherry blossoms begin to bloom in my garden in Tomi Nagano.
It's named Jugatuzakura meaning November Cherry Blossom.
It blooms in Autum and Spring.
So I can enjoy flowers twice in a year.
