green curtain

I went back to my parents' home in August 13th.
My parents, especially, my father likes to grow some plants and vegetables up
in their garden, and I like to look their garden when I always go my parents' home.

The town where my parents live is so so hot area, the temperature is sometimes
90-95F in the summer time (like Death Valley (?) ), so he made green curtain in the garden.

We Japanese call those plants "GOYA" or "NIGA-URI (meaning is bitter like cucumber?
it's hard to explain it. You all should visit Japan!!)".

Those green curtain made cool their house.
It's good idea for the global environment.

Miss SB!

I didn't update my blog about for 2 weeks...
I'm so lazy.

I love coffee and drink every morning, so I can't stop my mind to visit
the coffee shops when I find new one.

Recently, I found new coffee shop in my town, and I was really curious in
that shop, but I didn't have opportunity to visit it.

Last Saturday, I was able to visit that coffee shop finally.

I felt the smell of the coffee when I entered that shop, it made me comfortable.

I bought 2 types of coffee for iced coffee, and I liked the labels, so took
those pictures.

Right side one looks like Santa Barbara beach!

Oh my gosh, I really miss SB!!!

many support

Actually, I started working at one of national laboratories
as the assistant researcher from August 2nd.

It's not easy to do house work and my job perfectly, but
my husband supports me very much, so I can concentrate
to get used to new job right now.

One day, I realized there was one bag in front of the door of my room.
That was cute gift from 2 adorable kids who was living next to my room.
Their mom is my friend, and one kid is boy who is 4 years old, another kid is
girl who is 2 years old.
Those cute kids gave me wonderful pictures which they drew.

I was a little tired, so those neat gifts made me relaxed.

I always believe that many people support me when I try new things.
