Things I love about May: Bee Gees, green oaks, fringe tree, and decent weather.

First of May by Bee Gees.

I've been listening to Fujita Emi's version a lot lately. It's a really emotional song. When I listen to it, I feel calm and vaguely remember the old days. My eyes get moist. It's a song that I want to sing beautifully somewhere.

The green of the zelkova tree and the fringe tree.

I like the fringe tree flowers. The neat blooming has a different charm from the gorgeousness of the cherry blossoms. Green comes out of all the trees. As green leaves grow one by one on the bare branches throughout the winter, the trees become green all over. If there is 'life', it would be like this.

It's weather that allows you to take out short sleeves.

It's not awkward to wear short sleeves in the middle of May. It's moderately warm and moderately windy. No one knows how long this kind of weather will last. The weather is getting warmer and warmer, so the midsummer weather of May is not something that's only in the future.

May is called the queen of seasons, but even without the word 'queen', May is a wonderful and beautiful season. Simple elegance adds even more leisure and charm. Let's enjoy May.

Strawberry Pots and New Daily Routine

It’s been about two weeks since I planted strawberry seedlings in pots and placed them on the veranda. Last week, I developed a new morning routine: I put the pots outside as soon as I wake up. I place two pots behind my car in the parking lot. My veranda doesn’t receive sunlight in the morning, but sunlight comes into the room in the afternoon. So I decided to put the pots outside in the morning. I put the pots back in in the afternoon when the sunlight reaches the inside of the veranda.

There are several profits to leaving the pots outside. First, the stems become stronger as they sway gently in the wind. When the flowers bloom, bees come to help pollinate them. When it rains, there is no need to water. Rainwater has more nutrients than tap water.

That ’s really sincere. If I can eat a lot of strawberries this summer, it must have been because of this effort. The daily routine of moving the pots will help the strawberries grow well. And although it’s a small thing, my life seems to be taking shape with a certain routine. The strawberries are growing well, and my life is becoming more lively.
